I saw another review say ‘the funniest book about domestic violence’, and they’re not wrong. The dialogue between some of the characters was funny, but at the core, there are dark themes of spousal abuse.
The characters are written vividly; they felt true to life. I enjoyed the call backs to the present police interviews throughout, as they did a good job dangling suspense in front of you then hiding it away. It’s definitely a great beach read as the language flows quickly, although perhaps it could be a bit more condensed.
