The twists up to the conclusion where pure genius.īut why only 4 stars? It could and should have been shorter, for me about 20 %. The different POVs where expertly concluded, with me guessing the whole time what might have happened at the night of the massacre - and guessing wrong (mostly). Well, Sharp Objects did not become the BOTM read.īut I finished Dark Places July 30th, 2014.
Hopefully I will have finished Dark Places until then. Started July 23rd 2014 with Dark Places as Sharp Objects might be the BOTM August 2014 read of the Goodreads-Group Psychological Thrillers.
