I actually don't remember all that much about it. As in, I made my decision on my star rating on Goodreads, but didn't leave a review. Clearly, this book had a profound impact on me.
Our main character, Tod, wakes up whilst on holiday with his wife, to find a dead prostitute lying next to him. Yup, that's right a dead prostitute. Naturally his wife is nowhere to be seen, neither are the people he vaguely remembers from the night before. Cue Tod spending the whole of this novel trying to track his wife down, as he is adamant she has been kidnapped against her will. He also needs to figure out whether he did actually murder his wake-up friend, or whether it was all staged to make him look bad.
Now, don't get me wrong, this book had so much promise. It could have took so many different twists and turns, and it did, they just weren't exciting enough for me. I found his wife to be quite whiny and actually, quite cunning, and I found Tod being a tad too helpless for his own good at some points. However, the points where his head was screwed on actually made sense, but it was so frustrating to see some things pan out the way they did.
Through the time spent writing this review, I've decided to drop my stars from 3 to 2. Mainly because I've realised just how much I disliked the book, even if I did get through it quite quickly.
Sorry if I've disappointed you with this review, and although I am thankful for the eARC copy, I'm pleased I didn't actually pay for this, which is such a shame.
