The Last Time She Saw Him - Jane Haseldine
She read
Publication date: June 28, 2016
This is the author's first novel and it appears that it may be the first of a series. It's difficult to write this review. I liked the first 3/4s of this book. Haseldine employs great use of descriptive language. I really enjoyed her writing, feeling as though I were actually observing scenes. I didn't want to put the book down initially, but I thought it unraveled as it got near the end and I did put it down because I needed a break from it. It seemed to descend into a perverse, violent Keystone komedy of actions. That said, I thought it was a good debut and am looking forward to her next novel, hoping that style will win out over substance and her character's actions will become more realistic.
