The House on Buzzards Bay by Dwyer Murphy
3.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A very moody, mysterious story set at a beach house and told from one point of view. Refreshing in its originality. It will linger with me, the way it wanders and teases. The narrator is both straightforward and obfuscating. His friends/guests are interesting. His wife — and their interactions — both curious and confusing.
