INVESTIGATING MR WAKEFIELD
Rob Gittins (Y Lolfa)
If the cult hit Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn left boyfriends and husbands across the globe sleeping with one eye open, Investigating Mr Wakefield by acclaimed scriptwriter Rob Gittins may well leave girlfriends and wives unable to sleep at all.
A psychological thriller, the book explores the mindset of a man who has become obsessed with knowing what his partner is doing when he’s not there. Written in first person narrative, it cleverly draws a reader in and introduces the paranoid world of protagonist Jack Connolly in a subtle, gradual way.
The first few chapters leave a reader empathising with the war photographer, whose career and social life have been blighted because of one naive decision. However, as the pages turn so does the novel’s tone, and it soon becomes clear that this narrative is anything but reliable.
