The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward

 This book will be released in the US on September 28, 2021 by Macmillan 

It is now out in the UK.

 

So, THIS is the book that everyone is talking about. I suppose I will also talk about it.

 

But...I will follow the lead of my fellow book reviewers and not give any plot details. This is especially important for this book, but I rarely talk about plot anyway.

 

I think Christopher Golden took the words out of my mouth about this book: "audacious as hell." It really is. As I was reading and uncovering the layers of mystery, I couldn't believe what Ward was pulling off. 

 

I'm actually tempted to take off of work tomorrow, just to think about the nooks and crannies of the plot of this book. Tons of nuance to unpack here. 

 

Oh, and there is a cat, too.
