An uptight young man, upon learning that a woman he is courting is separated and not divorced, reacts in a surprising fit of violence; then has an increasingly difficult time covering up his actions as well as controlling his new-found desires in Elisabeth Sanxay Holding's The Unfinished Crime.
A classic unreliable narrator in a noir that ratchets tighter and tighter, The Unfinished Crime is a tidy little thriller from an author whose work has been out of print for a long while.
This novel was part of an old-fashioned style mystery double, the other half of which I also read very quickly (and is reviewed below). I consumed this in two days over Christmas break.
I have enjoyed what I have seen from Stark House Press and will recommend Holding's work to others.
