ruthie_the_librarian 's review for:
Exit
by Belinda Bauer
I wasn't quite sure what I was expecting when I started this book - perhaps something more 'standard crime' from the title and description. Not that standard crime is a bad thing, and sometimes it's just exactly what I want to read. But with this story, I was instantly captivated, and I enjoyed it all the way through.
It reminded me, a little bit, of 'A man called Ove'. Perhaps because there was an elderly gentleman at the centre of it, but perhaps more because it is a story with heart. It is a cleverly plotted murder mystery, and it is also just a wonderful observation of a multitude of characters, all of whom come to life, quite beautifully. Felix is wonderful, as is his neighbour. And Skipper broke my heart.
Definitely recommended...good writing, all the way through.
