Book Review: The Dead Father's Club by Matt Haig
I was hesitant to invest much time in what I initially thought was a Curious Incident clone, so you can imagine my surprise: I absolutely loved Matt Haig's The Dead Fathers Club
The story is familiar, son's uncle kills his father, then marries mother, accidental murder occurs––it's Hamlet. What is not familiar is the author's ability to make you forget you know what's coming. The ghosts of the murdered vs. psychiatric problems issue is played out for creepy effect.
If this were North Dakota I'd say it was super good. I'll say it anyway.
