Mercury
By Margot Livesay
I'm not generally into crime novels or thrillers, and it wasn't obvious that this was in that genre. It certainly didn't start off that way, but slowly, hints are dropped, and slowly I was hooked into finding out what happens.
A couple, married for 10 years with two kids, find themselves increasingly living separate lives. Viv becomes obsessed with a horse, Mercury and her lost dreams of winning equestrian competitions on a great horse. Her obsession leads to an act of violence, thinking she is protecting the horse from danger.
The book is about relationships, and how little things can lead to much bigger problems, in hindsight.
An interesting read, good writing, well written. The plot was so so.
Rating: 3.4/5
Recommendation: OK.
