Book Review: True Crime Story by Joseph Knox

I’m a big fan of Joseph Knox – the Aiden Waits books are really enjoyable. His world is dark and gritty and full of very engaging writing. So when I saw the latest Knox book, claiming to blend fact and fiction, I was immediately intrigued.

Unlike a lot of people, I like when authors write themselves into their stories. I find it a fascinating and twisty way to enhance a story – at least, in the hands of a talented writer. And Joseph Knox is a talented writer. I found myself Googling to see what was real and what wasn’t and figure out what was going on in this one from the opening gambit.

It was a thoroughly engaging story and while I don’t usually like epistolary novels or a lot of shift in (unreliable) narrators, I found this one to be a heck of a ride from start to finish!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my obligation-free review copy. The book releases in the U.S. on December 7, 2021.
