***** 5 stars
Another winner! Boy, my reading was sure elevated this vacation week. What a pleasure!
Seems I've been on a bit of theme with the darkly comic and the unreliable narrators. I read Koch's newest book a few weeks ago and really liked it. I think I liked this one even better as it seemed more disciplined. I liked the structure of the tale around a literal dinner. The story unfolded gradually and I always like that dawning awareness as we learn, along with the narrator, the true and full story.
Reminded me, too, of Defending Jacob which I read quite some time ago. The premise of your child having possibly been involved in something awful is downright chilling to me. Compelling read!
