The Lost Ones by Sheena Kamal
2.0
As my mother-in-law would say, this was very nice, but it was not for me. I read this for Book Club.
I think it's "noir," which I do not care for. The main character (and it's narrated in the first person) spoke in a monotone in my head. I'm not sure if that was the author's intent, but that's what happened. I think maybe she smiled once the whole book? Not for me. Also it was raining all the time, until it was really cold and snowy (but the MC didn't have appropriate clothing) and then she went back to Vancouver where it was raining all the time.
Also it's a "thriller" which just isn't my genre. And a mystery; same.
The writing was fine until near the end where I started to roll my eyes a bit. So I dunno, maybe this is a good book for people who like mysteries and/or thrillers and/or books about a "damaged" woman who is a victim of sexual assault? But I am not one of those people so I couldn't say for sure. Sorry!
