wandering_canuck 's review for:

An Inconvenient Wife by Karen E. Olson
2.5
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was so close to being a solid 3.5 stars, the ending was so disappointing that I removed an entire star. I was invested. I was waiting for the big reveal... The surprise twist...

there wasn't one! The twist is that all the characters are deplorable. This book would have made a great beach read whodunnit, but this was more like a who-didn't-dunnit.


Superfluous characters who are never developed. Motives are never revealed. Just a big letdown, after it's all said and done.
