The Murders of Molly Southbourne by Tade Thompson

5.0

CW: gore, animal gore, violence and murder

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE.

I’m utterly astounded at how much Tade Thompson was able to cram into so few pages! This was a compelling concept that effortlessly blended medical horror, mystery, and spy thriller elements, with a deliciously ambiguous ending that’s equal parts satisfying and maddeningly vague.

Molly’s character development and complexity is inconceivable for such a short tale. She’s easy to connect with in spite of her complete emotional unavailability and utilitarian approach to relationships, and watching her grow from naive child into boss woman was epic.

It’s been weeks since reading this and I am STILL thinking about it.

It’s that good.
