House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
3.0
A House of Sand and Fog is a unique story featuring three main characters whose lives collide. Kathy Nicolo is a recovering alcoholic and drug abuser whose husband has left her. She labors daily cleaning other people’s houses and lives in the home her father willed to her and her brother. The county takes possession of her abode for owed back taxes and puts the property up for auction where it is purchased at much less than its value by the desperate and scheming Massoud Amir Behrani. He is hoping to reside there for a short time and then flip the purchase to turn a large profit. When Sheriff Lester Burdon arrives in Kathy’s home announcing that she needs to vacate her property, he and Kathy meet. Neither of them is at first aware of their mutual fatal attraction.
This novel is not my typical genre, but was on my want to read list, so I decided to give it a go. It started out slow for me and I’ll admit I was almost bored with it. But, about halfway through things began to unravel at a much faster pace, and I could sense that disaster was on the horizon. I was finally intrigued, reading swiftly to find how it was all going to play out.
