I'm listening to the authors interview at the end (I did this on audiobook btw, which was excellent) and Alex talks about how he read and took inspiration from Agatha Christie...which I've just picked up. And with my experience with unreliable narrators like Shirley Jackson, I think this was really easy to piece together the who-done-it. I like that these two characters are together, possibly fate. You feel uncomfortable that he is so willing to dig into her life but will not even address the problems in his own. The dynamic between the two characters will help paint a picture of murder~If you liked this you may also like [b:The Girl on the Train 22557272 The Girl on the Train Paula Hawkins https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1574805682l/22557272.SX50.jpg 41107568] or the authors of Agatha Christie or Shirley Jackson.
