Thoughts

I found this to be a bit of an odd read. The structure of it was good, starting at the funeral of a man and looking around at the congregation considering who might have been involved with his death. Then we dip back and forth in time to piece together what did happen.

It all came down to this weird, extended revenge against a clearly awful man, but it felt a bit over the top to me and I didn’t quite buy that everyone would be involved in the way they were. Still, it was an interesting read and came to a good ending.
