This was good. More dark than funny, it certainly packs a punch in its 229 pages. The book didn't come with a trigger warning page, and maybe it should have. I typically skip them, and I likely would have this one too, but many readers need that. While there's never much detail (it is after all, only 229 pages), *Evil Genius* brushes up against many a disturbing event in the few weeks we follow our protagonist, Celia Dent.
The story is well written and concise, leaving me sated at the end without either feeling bloated nor hungry for more. It's a decidedly feminine tale - I think fans of Emilia Hart, *Her Body and Other Parties*, or *The Crane Husband* would find *Evil Genius* to their liking.
