Literary Angst

A book I've been reading, and quite enjoying, just used one of the most obvious, over-used, and infuriatingly DUMB tropes as a key plot-point. I can no longer keep reading. Two hundred and fifty pages into a pretty good book and they pull THIS? SHIT!


REALLY? The killer is actually someone who they thought was dead, but since the corpse was "unidentifiable" is actually still alive? REALLY? HOW FUCKING CLEVER! I'VE LITERALLY NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE!


I guess I should at least count my blessings that a key male character wasn't really a cleverly-disguised woman.
