The Accomplice by Lisa Lutz
3.0
Owen and Luna are best friends that manage to dissuade the age old theory that males and females cannot be friends without some romantic entanglements, but Owen and Luna are hardly just friends they are friends who will forsake all others including spouses. The book follows multiple POVs which change almost on a page to page basis rather than from chapter to chapter like most other books, it also moves between present day and the early 2000s, it covers the deaths of 2 women closely attached to Owen. This book engages you from the get go, its hard to put down, the characters are likable but I didn’t love Luna, she was a prickly character and it rubbed off onto the reader which I have to give the author credit for if that was her intention, but as I relished 3/4 of the book I was completely underwhelmed by the end. It puts me in mind of a cartoon where we are anticipating a monster to appear given the size of his shadow and the thump of his boots only for it to turn out to be a fluffy bunny, deeply disappointing. Given all this I’m not sure I really understand the title of this book. It’s a whodunit but after finishing it I’m not sure who is supposed to be The Accomplice.
