Tangentially a very good use of agents! “Look up the twist ending. Don’t tell me what it is. But help me understand the nature of it: what level of gore? Any murder? Any chance I’ll have trouble sleeping after?”
There was no way I was picking up a “thriller” without that filter.
…ruined the end for myself. But knowing the rough shape of how it ends makes me appreciate all the hints and subtle cues along the way of what’s to come. Doesn’t feel like I’ve ruined it at all. Makes me appreciate the story craft!
The kind of book you could read twice and see new layers.
