The Kills by Richard House

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? N/A
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.0

The Kills is ambitious in its scope but just does not quite deliver. The four novellas that have been stitched together very roughly needed a greater connection.  The conspiracy, the money laundering and intrigue all showed great promise but there was just the hook missing to keep your interest.
