Bellevue Square by Michael Redhill

mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I really liked the writing - I found the story engaging and the author did a great job of making you feel unsettled throughout. After finishing it, do I have any sense of what was going on? A little, but nothing is clearly laid out and none of the explanations perfectly explain everything for me. I'm also not clear on why the tense changed after part 1

(it does coincide with Jean seeing Ingrid for the first time so I'm sure it's significant and I'm just missing it)

. It's definitely weird and I'm not one hundred percent sure how to feel about it, but I will be buying the following books in the triptych.

If more is explained in the subsequent books could be upgraded to 4 stars.
