Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante

3.0

Ultimately, kind of a "meh" book. It was one of those I might not have finished if I were reading it, but listening to it on my iPod without my full attention was OK. Sold as a murder mystery, it's much more a meandering firsthand account of the effects of Alzheimer's on the narrator than a compelling whodunit (even with the catchy hook of the victim's missing fingers). The mystery is actually kind of anticlimactic when finally solved, and since the victim (as well as the primary suspect and pretty much all the characters) isn't particularly likable, the resolution of her murder wasn't that satisfying.
