ultreaux 's review for:

The Plotters by Un-su Kim
4.0
dark mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A quietly simmering story that resembles a slowly stretched elastic band waiting to be snapped. 
If you're looking for an action-packed thrill-ride this isn't it, it brought to mind the pacing of The 39 Steps and featured Tarantino-esque dialogue that dialed up the threat level with each passing chapter.
