Some Days are Dark by Miranda Smith – 3 Stars
Publisher: Bookouture
ISBN: 9781838882198
I struggled to keep reading this
book until the last 25% when the action picked up and there was a surprising
conclusion. I realize that the story needed information about Olivia’s life,
however, I was annoyed with her poor-me attitude, excuses and naively bad
choices. The mystery got lost in the overly long telling of her issues of being
an unhappy wife, sharing custody of her young child and battling drug and alcohol
abuse. Mostly she made her own problems.
I put this book aside several
times to read something else. I came back to it because the author’s writing
was strong and readable and I was curious to discover the conclusion. I would
have enjoyed it if the focus had been more on the mystery and less on Olivia’s
woeful life.
