‘Heads Will Roll’ (2024) by Josh Winning – set aside at 30%

I’m setting this aside because it’s not getting any traction with my imagination.

The prose is smooth and accessible. The characters are relatable. It’s mildly amusing, mostly in its pop culture references and its commentary on the peculiarities of cancel culture.

The main character is bland, even though she talks to herself in the voice of the TV character she’s been playing for years. 

I’m not finding it in the least bit scary. It isn’t so much slasher-lite as slasher-zero.

It’s possible I’m just too old and jaded for this book.
