Review: A story of grief and revelations
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 25, 2014
Matt learns that his wife has been murdered during a business trip, but his grief and sadness soon turn to confusion and anger when he finds a journal among his wife's belongings, exposing a sordid and criminal secret life.The book has good pacing, thanks in part to the way that the story builds around Matt reading new entries in the journal. This literary method helps to create a lot of the suspense and unfoldment, although in real life I couldn't imagine it taking someone so long to finish reading a few journal entries that only take up a few pages, even taking into account the character's dismay and disgust with what he learns. I have to say that I guessed the end result well in advance, but that didn't take away from the fact that this was a tight, well-written short read with good character development and a satisfying ending.
