The Interpreter

free to read at the pigeonhole

bro, what? this was absolutely bonkers.

this story centers on revelle, a polyglot freelance translator who regularly does work helping the police and courts. through this she meets a childminder who is then murdered, and this kicks off the main plot of the book; one part trying to solve the murder of a woman she has met twice, and one part abusing her power as an interpreter and being caught out for it.

the story is interspersed with flashbacks throughout that are developed upon in order to add some context to her actions, but at the end of the day she's an absolutely horrible person.

this book is so easy to read, but the ending doesn't really feel deserved based on the buildup and I honestly didn't like one single character.
