A review by charvermont
Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh

challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Disturbing, an unlikeable protagonist but it is interesting to see her slowly unraveling. Wished the mystery was more than just in her head but great writing nonetheless. 

Unnecessary fatphobic commentary (which is apparently Moshfegh’s thing across all her novels)
