2013 book 51

Amity Gaige's Schroder
Soooo this is basically a novelization of the whole Clark Rockefeller thing (the author even says so in a Q&A at the end of the book), presented as the father with a false identity writing his confession/a letter to his ex/an account of his week with his kidnapped daughter. At first he seems sympathetic, but as he goes on, he becomes more and more unbearable and pretentious. And more obviously a total prick. And I can logically say that it's a well-written novel, but reading a whole book in that guy's narrative voice was not at all enjoyable for me. I only finished b/c I'd already sunk a couple hours into it and figured I might as well. B-.
