This was an interesting literary thriller. This is a hit or miss genre for me and I most definitely have to be in the right frame of mind. I think literary thrillers are darker, and a little more plot driven, with more suspense than a traditional thriller. In the case of this book there were a lot of moving pieces, and I felt the precision just oozing off the page. This book was so engrossing. I just felt an innate draw to finish it and get to the bottom of everything. It was a little bit magical to read just how everything came together and panned out. This one was a little tricky because of all the moving pieces and keeping everything in line but so worth it. The writing was well done as well, and I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much if it wasn’t so amazing. The ending on this one was pretty predictable, which means it was really obvious because I rarely think about endings before they happen. While I am hit or miss if this is necessarily a bad thing, in this case it wasn’t my favorite and I wish that it came out of nowhere.
