Like her debut novel, this follow-up by Dahl provided an interesting glimpse into stringers as part of the journalism ecosystem. The main character’s profession and professional tactics ended up being much more interesting to me than the family narrative in this second book, but Dahl’s writing remained as strong as ever and this was a pleasure to read, though it felt fluffier than most of the books I’ve read this summer.
This post is part of #MySummerOfMysteries, a project to immerse myself in mysteries, thrillers, crime writing, and whodunits. For each book I finish, I’m posting brief thoughts and reflections here. Please note that these are not intended as full reviews. To view my reading progress throughout the summer, click here.
