This is one of the ones where I'm giving it four starts because it's objectively good, although I didn't *enjoy* it per se. Reminded me lots of Camus's The Stranger, which I'm going to re-read again now I think. Terrible characters who you come to see are not so much morally questionable as completely morally corrupt. Masterful use of readers' innate instinct to trust/sympathize with a story's narrator, which makes the ending more disturbing. So like... it's good. And I suppose I'd recommend it. But I don't think I'd read it again. Should make for an interesting book club discussion tomorrow night!!
