Stranglehold
Stranglehold | Jack Ketchum
2 posts | 6 read | 9 to read
Lydia McCloud meets Arthur Danse at a wedding party in Plymouth, N.H., and she thinks he's a man she could grow to love. Arthur sees things differently. In Lydia, he sees the sort of woman people always want to protect. He decides he's going to show her "she wouldn't always be protected." Once their only child, Robert, is born, Arthur's behavior worsens. When the courts become involved, the nightmare really begins. This scathing novel is an indictment of a justice system that makes a mockery of its very name.

This was a quick read and a pretty typical Ketchum book. I finished it at 12:30AM. And after staying up late, the ending was exactly what I was expecting. That may be because I've read a lot of his books OR that he properly predicted the future. I think this book was slightly ahead of its time. We take this kind of story as semi-normal now, but then...I bet it was much more out there. Very interesting piece.

Jack Ketchum writes seriously disturbing books. If you can stomach it, this is a good, fast, dark read. Not gonna lie, even though you could generally tell where the story was going, I still had trouble reading it before I went to bed for the night.
