Seriously WTF did I read, nothing was clarified by the end

[Ann Douglas · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are mysteries nestled within mysteries in this novel by Michelle Berry, which makes for a compelling read. The action kicks off with a body in a swimming pool. As new plot twists are added and additional characters are introduced, motivation and even identity come into question time and time again. This novel was intriguing enough to get me out of bed an hour earlier than I had to this morning, so I could finish the last 50 pages.

I couldn't put this book down. Complex characters and lots of mystery. It was easy to transition back and forth between the two time periods (10 years apart). I found Bruce to be a very sympathetic character and I found myself rooting for him to find some happiness in his life. The murderer isn't exactly revealed at the end but I think there are enough clues for the reader to come to their own conclusion without feeling cheated.
