Peter Swanson is always challenging himself with some sort of writing mechanic. Whether it be telling you who the murderer is right away, giving you the climax early on, or in this case, writing his narrative backwards, he never bores. I was surprised to see he pulls it off here, keeping my intrigue and attention to the central dynamic as we walk through their lives backwards from middle-aged to literal children. If you're into crime thrillers, Swanson is your guy.
