psychological thriller, mystery
I surprised myself by really enjoying Black-Eyed Susans!
Generally I'm not a huge fan of mystery/thrillers (for reference, I hated Gone Girl and Girl on the Train), but Heaberlin held my attention, because I was totally sucked in by the characters in Black-Eyed Susans. The premise of this book is that the narrator, Tessa, is the only survivor of a serial killer and obviously this has had an effect on everything in her life afterward. She helped convict a man for the crime, but now she has doubts about his guilt and, in fact, she's had doubts for a long time.
I had strong guesses about the "who" in the whodunnit portion of the story but I was completely invested in the how & why of things as the story unfolded as it wasn't clear in my mind how all the pieces fit together. The beginning of the book is a little confusing as the time line flashes back at forth between current events and the aftermath of "the event." Once you get used to that however, the narrative flows pretty easily.
I'd definitely recommend this, particularly for people who enjoy a mystery.
