Let Her Be by Lisa Unger
4.0

This was my third read from the Hush collection. They are all short stories that fall under the crime fiction genre of writing. What I enjoyed most from this story was the narrator. He is definitely untrustworthy but I couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards him throughout the book. (Please note that there is a graphic scene of the narrator attempting suicide in this story. If this is a trigger for you, do not read this book.) The plot itself was interesting and I thought this was a solid short story. I always wonder when authors craft characters who are writers/poets if there are some autobiographical aspects to them. After this short introduction to her writing, I would like to read more of Unger's work in the future.
