The Last Thing He Wanted by Joan Didion
adventurous
informative
tense
fast-paced
3.0
Murder happens on the first page.
The story spins and spins. Looks left. Looks right.
Exposition is in lucky draws. You get a bit of info here.
Then there.
And everything starts to make sense.
Watch the money move. See the people go.
Look carefully.
And it all comes together in the end.
It works in this way. And though there is a film adaptation, it was messily made judged by letterboxd reviews. It's in the prose does Didion succeed in laying out a political thriller. And we all know that Didion is a master when it comes to prose.
