Karma Never Sleeps by John Dingle is a novel about a serial killer who is after a group of women friends in a small New England town. This is a group of women who have mostly been together since birth and have chosen to remain in the same village where they grew up. There were two recent murders of this group of women friends, and then there is suspicion by the FBI agents that those deaths also were tied to the suicide of a girl during her teenage years, some 20+ years prior to the recent murders. However, it’s clear that the surviving women have a secret that they won’t talk to anyone about who is outside their immediate group.
Simply put, I just could not get attached to the content of this story. I found the characters uninteresting, and the plot took too long to unfold. I closed the book at the 50% mark when I just did not care about the outcome. Perhaps, my response was a typically let down that I feel after just completing two stellar mystery novels which probably would have outshined any book. I can’t recommend this one.
