Night Film by Marisha
Pessl
Scott McGrath was once a
successful and well respected investigative reporter, until he decided to dig
into the life of reclusive cult film director Cordova. His career in shambles, his home life not
much better, Scott is trying to get his good name back. Then Ashley, Cordova’s daughter, is found
dead from an apparent suicide just blocks from Scott’s home in New York City
I am a sucker for books
with “extras” in them. Things like maps,
charts, pictures, etc. This book has
LOTS of extras. Screen shots of webpages
abound as do excerpts from newspaper articles.
It just added to the illusion of following the research of an
investigative reporter and it really worked well.
Dark, otherworldly and
twisty this is a thriller that will drag you into its world. I’m still not totally sure I liked the
ending, but I liked getting there.
