Hold the Dark by William Giraldi

1.0

Left unfinished in the middle. Too much Cormac McCarthy, not enough William Giraldi. Where are the quick-witted, deep characters of Busy Monsters? The multi-layered, relatable characters we love and hate? What happened to his smart writing style? Why the shift? I applaud exploration and play in writing but this just felt forced to me and I was uninterested in continuing to the end, which is a problem with a literary mystery.
