Did you like The Red House? Or not? Is a review in the works?
Hi Laurie! I’m working on the review. I did enjoy the book as a whole, but I had a little difficulty reading the ever-changing narrators every other paragraph or so. What did you think?
I reviewed it on my blog because I got the ARC from NetGalley. I thought readers looking to be charmed by another Curious Incident of the Dog, etc. would be disappointed, as with the author’s second book, but I wasn’t all that charmed by Curious Incident, so I think I liked this one better!
