Reviewed by Dev Raman

Thrillers, biographies, anything I can finish on a flight. Impatient with slow openings.

3½ of 5 WOULD RECOMMEND Finished · Spoiler-free

Good, and shorter than it looks — a third of it is letters you can skim.

Hale was a lighthouse-service administrator who wrote to everyone, and Ashby lets her do most of the talking. Read the connecting chapters closely and the letters selectively. Three and a half; I liked her a great deal and him slightly less.
