Christopher Bollen's Havoc
This popped up on a couple of year-end lists and the description seemed interesting—it’s about an elderly woman living in a hotel in Luxor, who has a history of meddling in people's lives and is on the run from something that led to murder. And then she meets her match when a little boy comes to the hotel with his mother. But like, this was exceedingly unpleasant, and not in a fun or even an interesting way. I can’t list all the things that bothered me bc of spoilers, but yikes. I realized halfway through that I wasn’t going to end up liking this, but the sunk cost fallacy got me. I am gonna have to read something really cute to get this one out of my head. B-.
