Even though Chris Bohjalian’s “The Jackal’s Mistress” is not shampoo, the plot does have the kind of rhythm conjured by the three words found on pretty much all bottles of the stuff: lather, rinse, repeat. Also like those words, his latest is pleasing in its directness but simultaneously lacks a certain depth. That doesn’t mean the novel is a drag to read.

I am in awe of Chris Bohjalian. He is indeed a true American original who has mastered every genre he has tackled: literary fiction, historical fiction, mystery, thriller and horror. Not since SKELETONS AT THE FEAST has he depicted the harsh realities of war and the impact on those affected by it like he does in THE JACKAL’S MISTRESS.

Bohjalian at his best
I have a complicated relationship with Bohjalians books. To me, they are either very good like Hour of the Witch or meh, like the Princess of Las Vegas. So I went into this book with caution but with hope. I’m glad to say I was pleasantly surprised. Kudos to Bohjalian for always doing impeccable research.
