I am immediately drawn into this detailed story, with rich descriptions of color and scene. I liked that the author began with the journal, with so much left unwritten. She writes the hint of a desire to make a confession, yet knowing it would be incriminating.
Next, at first, an unidentified narrator. You feel the urgency behind his desire to tell the entire story in the greatest of detail. Is he reliable? A self-disclosed troubled past, then healed by psychotherapy and now taking on a murdering artist?
The cover gives away just enough.
Reminded me of the classics as well as the genre of modern gothic. Felt a bit like a cross between Daphne du Maurier and Sarah Waters.
I definitely want more!
