The Accomplice by Lisa Lutz

4.0

This book was less of a mystery than an exploration of a codependent (toxic?) friendship between two inherently unlikeable people. Owen and Luna have been platonic (REALLY!) BFFs since they met in college, but people keep dying around them. First, Owen's college girlfriend dies mysteriously, and then years later his wife is brutally murdered, so he looks shady AF. Luna sticks with him through it all because that's what BFFs do, right?

I can't say I loved this book, but I enjoyed reading it, and will always love Lisa Lutz's writing style - smart and snarky and funny and insightful. Also: The ferret house was hilarious.
