The Other Half Lives by Sophie Hannah

2.0

Sophie Hannah is a great suspense writer and one that captures the broken human psyche like I've never read. I really enjoyed The Wrong Mother, which preceeded this story in her Spilling CID series. However, in this story, I LOATHED the main narrator. By the end of the book, I understood her oddities a bit more, but I could not stand her evasiveness. I almost quit the book several times just because of her. But I was intrigued by the bizarre plot that I wanted to know the end. It didn't really help me like the book any more. But I'm still impressed with Sophie Hannah as a writer. I might just wait awhile before reading another. Needing a break from all the crazy.
