Kristine — what genre (subgenre) would you consider this story?
(That it is gripping and compelling goes without saying!)
Mystery. Mystery is really crime fiction, not just Agatha Christie.
I remember reading this a few years ago, which means it’s powerful, both as literary art and as a morality play. I wonder what the sequel is: will the rich, powerful, intelligent, bent Nico take this lying down? Will he repent, make amends where possible? Or attack? Are all the F.o.L., now in the open, unassailable? Is redemption possible, and if so, how? Is healing possible for Linda, and if so, how? If our sympathies are with the victim – Linda – as they properly should be, what hopes are we left with? Is the hope of revenge enough? I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Overthinking, maybe. Thank you.
I think your provider needs to take “reliable” off their claim.
