Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

All the lavish praise and talk of how this book is a "true tour de force"? That's evidence that publishing people done lost their minds. The writing style is strong, I'll grant you that, but the plot belongs in a second tier Encyclopedia Brown story, and the "twists" are so obvious you have to wonder why he bothered writing them down. (irritating minutia: if you're foolish enough to read the book, count how many times the healthy main character feels faint . . . simply from missing a single meal.) 

Pass.
