Episode Synopsis

I'm so grateful that our book club has finally taken flight and we are now on our first ever read together session! Finished this book and decided to try doing a one-take review and afterthought on this piece of work. A work of thriller that kept me on the edge, I'm glad to have tried out this book that gave me more takeaway than the stories and narratives itself as I embark on a journey of self-discovery while I question the sophistication of our human language. Are we not evolved enough to express ourselves? or are we simply just living behind a mask? Who are we and what do we actually know? Humans are such complex creatures and when it comes to narrative, how much of it do we think we have control over and how much do we actually manipulate, be it the truth or the omission. As a murderer, how do they balance on the scales of letting the world know of their crimes but not actually getting caught?
