More than being a decent thriller, "The Escape Artist" takes a really deep and absolutely difficult at times look at abuse, trauma, coping mechanisms, grief, of how pain can take a person to the path of anger or resignation, and yearning for connection not only with others but with your own self. It's also a story of relating to others along and across professional, casual, and generational lines. Leaning a few interesting facts about bees was just a nice little cherry on top. An engaging and emotional read that was a ride from beginning to end.
