![]() ![]() It’s a maze of terrific characters and a plethora of concepts from crimes to conspiracy theories, all terrifically written and character driven. You get to follow a story of two estranged brothers, one as a ghostly presence lingering on the edges, one as a protagonist trying to solve his murder. My Dirty California is all original, a compelling mystery wrapped into a love song for a state of dreamers. ![]() I’m very selective with my thrillers, striving to avoid the clichéd work populating the market right now. Yes, it’s over 400 pages, but it was well worth it for how fun, how engaging, how clever this mystery was. But…once I picked it up, I didn’t want to put it down. And so, this novel, as enticing as it sounded, waiting on my Netgalley TBR list for quite a while. Which means it doesn’t just take me longer to get through the larger books but it takes me longer to get TO them. ![]() For me, optimally, a novel should come in around 300 pages. ![]()
