Thrilling Mystery

Revisado: 09-18-19

A gripping mystery with a very unique angle. The Answer to the Question is a fanciful, creepy, yet deliciously feasible "reality".

Fascinating

Revisado: 08-26-19

Although I've long heard of Patterson, this is the first book of his I've ever read. So complex and well-crafted! Well-deserved reputation.

All good thrillers have surprise endings, but the climax of this one took me totally by surprise! Bravo!

What an interesting, complex storyline.

Revisado: 07-02-19

Fun that Ms. Gardner brought back previous characters--victims as well as cops. Similar to a "Where are They Today" article from People magazine, but in book form. And with new crimes to unravel, of course. Very satisfying read!

Tami Hoag is Simply Brilliant

Revisado: 06-11-19

I read "The Boy" first since it just came out. It is the second in this particular series. This book is the first, but was written 22 years ago.

I am often hesitant to read an author's early works, because
It often takes years for their writing to mature.

Not at all in this case. This first book could have been written in 2017. It is very rich. The plot is amazing and the character development deep and nuanced.

Ms. Hoag is an astute observer and understands human nature to a tee.
Kudos and many thanks.

Wow!

Revisado: 03-10-19

There are no words to describe the depth and breadth of this work. Stunning!

It's actually several books at once. A murder mystery, coming-of-age story, deep dive into Scottish culture on an isolated island and high adventure.

My hat's off to the author!

AMAZING

Revisado: 02-02-19

I'm a fan of TV detective series located in Great Britain. When I heard this author wrote the books upon which "Shetland" is based, I was excited.

This novel greatly exceeded my already positive expectations. What a master!

The plot is so intricate. There are many plausible suspects. The book leaves one guessing up to the very last second.

Everything falls perfectly into place after the reveal. Its genius is stunning. I feel Tana French is the only other author who is equally brilliant.

I am thrilled. Endorphins are popping!

Gripping

Revisado: 01-25-19

This a gripping, faced-paced thriller. I loved the complex plot and diabolical villain(s) who are paradoxically empathetic figures. Excellent read!

Jon Ronson is a Master

Revisado: 01-09-19

Jon Ronson is my favorite investigative journalist. He is smart---both intellectually and emotionally. His reporting is skillful and nuanced. He is simultaneously a critical thinker and empathetic. He chooses unique topics which are always interesting.

EXCELLENT

Fascinating, nuanced. Loved the way one story was told from four characters' points of view. "Everyone is the hero of their own story," is skillfully illustrated via such a device. We all mistake our own subjectivity for the single absolute truth. This theme is deftly explored. I loved it

EXCELLENT

Excuse the pun...what a novel novel! Lots of balls in the air. A masterful interweaving of many characters and subplots. (Each its own finely drawn and complete little vignette.)

Plus a surprising, thrilling ending! Very delicious...with promises of more to come.
