Lauren Groff's debut novel, The Monsters of Templeton, is everything a reader might have expected from this gifted writer, and more … There are monsters, murders, bastards, and ne'er-do-wells almost without number. I was sorry to see this rich and wonderful novel come to an end, and there is no higher success than that. |
