De kleine getuige

For me, this one was a bit of a slog for at least half the book. I was reading it in fits and starts and I found the main character so unlikable that towards middle and end I found myself getting real life angry at her decisions. Then, I realised, that was kind of the point.

With a book like this, with her kind of character, I wasn't expecting as much depth as I got. I thought this would be a fun and light read, police after a killer, everything turns out peachy in the end. This isn't that kind of book and it took me a long time to realise that.

Despite despising the main character I flew through the last half of the book quite quickly and looking back on it I can appreciate the author crafting such a flawed but ultimately human character. I didn't agree with the characters decisions but the point was that I don't have to. If I said any more I'd be going into spoiler territory. I'm giving this an extra star because the last quarter was compelling enough that it made me want to continue the series.
