Dead Girl Blues

You might as well know this going in: Lawrence Block's new novel is not for everyone. It's recounted in journal form by its protagonist, and begins when he walks into a roadhouse outside of Bakersfield, California, and walks out with a woman. And rapes and murders her. But, um, not in that order. 

Right. But it's what he does with the rest of his life that's really interesting....

I liked it.

I liked the writing style, the story. But I wish it was more brutal.
I recommend it to readers who like psychological thrillers, spiced with brutal sexual subjects.

Dark but fascinating.

If you can deal with how dark this is this book is awesome. Five stars.

A different perspective

Story 4/5
Narration 5/5

Started out with a bang, but then took a serious turn.

Recommended but don't expect a lot of violence.

the story.

overall a good listen. A man reacts on his impulse and trys to keep it at bay. it's a story you could read or hear about in the news. how years later because of DNA there past acts catch up with them.

Boring

Took me forever to get through this. “Action” in the first chapter and then just a bunch of talking.
