Who gets to tell another person's story? At what point is a plot available to any writer? Where does inspiration turn into theft?
Could not put this down! Bought the audio book and set it to 1.3x but I still couldn't get through it fast enough and supplemented with an ebook. So compelling. Great mystery and thriller. A plot within a plot whose lines begin to blur. Really smart book with lots of twists . . . some I saw coming others made my jaw drop.
The motivations and actions of two of the characters weren't quite clear to me and seemed a bit over the top (had echoes of the Tell-Tale Heart). And some of the story lines got a little confusing so I'm glad I didn't have to only rely on the audio version to look back and check some points. But totally worth the ride.
