Ill Will: A Novel

"Dan Chaon’s Ill Will is an intelligent, layered and painfully suspenseful thriller about a psychologist whose childhood was shattered by a series of murders in the family. Chaon writes especially well about conspiracy theories, showing how they can rebound and refract. “[W]e were only peeping through a keyhole of our lives, and the majority of the truth, the reality of what happened to us, was hidden,” says one character. “Memories were no more solid than dreams.”"
