The Clementine Complex

A slow start, but once it picked up the pace, it became a fantastic read.

I really don’t know what I was expecting with this book. I wasn’t expecting a romance or a “true” thriller but somehow, kinda, maybe got both? I devoured the book in an hour or so and genuinely loved the main character. He was self-depreciating and kept talking to squirrel fiends, what is not to love? Enjoyable read even though it was so weird trying to understand what was happening, who was a “copper,” who was a villain, etc. It tied up nicely in the end.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a fun quick read. I was amused throughout at the random tangents 🤣 It was good but not great or amazing so I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 or 6/10

The humor, at first, was intriguing. The characters,at first, were quirky. Then I grew tired. It was predictable. I will not read another book by Mortimer.

The humor in this book is harder to catch on to but once I got a better understanding, I liked it. It took me about 100 pages to get into but I’m glad I read it! The relationship with Gary and Grace was my favorite part.
