3.5
The main tension of the novel -- an accusation that the main character 'stole' a plot -- is so low-stakes it's hard to get into the thriller-y mood needed to appreciate the rest of the drama. So it's not until about 80% in that the novel genuinely becomes stressful, and that's mostly from waiting to see if the 'twist' is what is being telegraphed. A fun, 48-hour read.
