“Life is hard. After all, it kills you”
Sebastian Trapp, a mystery author, is dying. He invites his long term fan, and pen pal, Nicky, to come and write his life story.
Sebastian’s first wife and son, disappeared. His second wife winds up dead. Can Nicky help solve this real life mystery?
This is a real slow burn story. I think a little too slow for me. It doesn’t really pick up the pace until the last 10% where it unravels (which I did enjoy). The ending was a surprise, and not something I could have guessed, which was nice.
Unfortunately, I didn’t warm to any of the characters though, and I found it confusing in places with the switching between Madeline and Nicky.
I enjoyed the little bits of humour that were peppered in.
Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for my advanced copy.
