A review by angrygreycatreads
Kind of Cruel by Sophie Hannah

1.0

The book starts with insomniac Amber visiting a hypnotherapist to try to find some relief from the lack of sleep. During her session she says the phrase kind, cruel, kind of cruel”, which just happens to be a key piece in a murder inquiry. Amber has no idea what it is all about and neither does anybody else either. The book meanders on and about half way through I gave up and skipped to the end just to see what happened. The characters, setting and mystery just didn’t engage me. The reveal was actually who I suspected, because it was really the only “mysterious/normal” character, if that is a thing, but the reasoning was extremely convoluted.
