The Scapegoat by Sara Davis
5.0
This is a tricky book to review spoiler-free, it’s smart and mysterious and every step of the way, just when you think you understand where the story is taking you, the rug is ripped out from under you in the best of ways.
The tone of the novel immediately pulls the reader into the story. Davis uses a passive voice that creates an air of detachment between the narrator and the events of the story. The reader quickly gets the impression that there is something you don’t know and are trying to discover. Once you finish you’re left wondering what exactly you just read and find yourself thinking back through all the moments of the book to unravel the story. I typically don’t like books that leave you feeling confused, but Sara Davis’s writing is stunning! The twists of the story sneak up on you and leave you completely captivated. The story you think you’re reading isn’t the story you’re actually reading and slowly piecing together clues, even after you’ve finished the book, is what made this book so intriguing and breathtaking.
