Unfortunately I seem to be the only one that read this book and therefore I have found no reviews anywhere explain what the heck the ending was about! The book started off okay, had a nice plot and everything and then its standard just dropped. I got really lost and had absolutely no idea what the author was trying to do at the end of the book. It was really weird,thank god I didnt buy it and just borrowed it from the library.
A noir who dunnit? in the literary style with a brush of the fantastic, set in a fictional interior B.C. town. One of those endings you're rushing toward because you want everything to be sorted out. Unfortunately, the ending doesn't do a lot of sorting. Definitely a book to re-read.
