The Other Woman's House: A Zailer and Waterhouse Mystery by Sophie Hannah
3.0
First of all, I hate when life and work interfere with my reading. Hence the reason for the length of time it took me to complete this one. Second of all, this book was all sorts of F'd up.
I've been looking forward to reading this author for quite sometime. All these titles in the series seem like they can stand alone well enough. I'll have to confirm that suspicion with more titles down the road.
Once I could get into the guts of this story, it completely messed with me. I could not wrap my head around all the unknowns. So many questions, then more questions jumping out of the woodwork. This was definitely a psychological thriller, operative word being "psycho!!" Once you wrap your head around the conclusion, it really effs up the noggin. I had a hard time toward the end how the detectives so eloquently discuss the case at a pub then take the revelation from there to the scene of the crime. It was summed up too quickly, the lack of investigating within the investigators, more or less just talking out what they think happened, which is exactly what happened. Kinda lame. But the characters are definitely well written. I will eagerly wait to read more of Hannah's stories.....when I'm in the mood for cray-cray again.
