Lisa Lutz's The Accomplice
I’ll read anything Lutz writes, but this wasn’t my favorite of her books. It centers on a man and woman who have been best friends since college, and then his wife gets murdered and the police are looking into them. This is interspersed with flashbacks to their college days, when she’s hiding a big secret about her past, and there are hints that something bad is going to happen. One mystery resolves in a much more satisfying manner than the other (I mean, I can’t spoilt it, but COME ON), but the ending here is weirdly bleak. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, I was just not in the mood for bleak tonight. B.
