Written in such a way it’s creepy and obsessive.

I couldn’t connect with this as the obsession is this girl whose now dead. He uses her blogs, emails, diary to open up her life except it wasn’t that interesting really.

There was no huge big reveal.

I think this is another book I left on my kindle expecting to try again and forgot about…oops.

I really wanted to like this book. I am not sure what it was, perhaps I was just not in the mood for it, but I gave up on this one about 1/3 of the way through it. Alice Salmon’s body was found floating in a river and her story is told by several people but most of it by University Professor Jeremy Cooke who tries to rebuild an image of her life by collecting her digital footprint. The whole story is told by way of emails, blog posts, texts etcetera from many different viewpoints and at different points in time and the whole thing just doesn’t quite work.for me. It felt disjointed and didn't flow well for me. Alice’s viewpoint is also shared by diary extracts. I did not get to know Alice and was unable to form a bond or really care about her.
