Review
I have to strongly disagree with The Wall Street Journal who described this as, “the European Gone Girl,” this has neither the flow or characters for such a description. It is a frightening story told from the point of view of a man who has a skewed perspective and a psychotic illness.
When parents discover their son and his cousin killed a homeless woman, they take unusual steps to do the “right” thing. Hard to see what this has in common with the mysterious Gone Girl but if you can put up with the staccato phrasing and the psychotic story telling in the first person, it’s an ok read.
