Reputations by Juan Gabriel Vásquez
3.0

This sits on the cusp of a 4-start for me. The prose itself is very engaging and well-written. I liked the exploration of the passing of time and memory. (Also it's very short and I had fallen behind on my reading goal)

Ultimately thought the plot line that led to the ending just sort of fell flat. Also there's a substantial amount of random detail that felt like distracting filler.
