Man of the Year by Caroline Louise WalkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really liked this book, more of a character study than a thriller. Robert is a egotistic character who lies, just like everyone else in his family. However, his introspection added a sense of depth and resonance to the book. When a friend of his son comes to live with Robert and his second wife Elizabeth, things go downhill rapidly. A solid narrative when told through Robert’s eyes, but some chapters didn’t make sense as written; truly secondary characters pitching in to the story, but didn’t add much. A little wordy in spots as well, but with plenty of twists and tormented characters, this is a solid story. Thanks to Netgalley for an advance copy.
