First Tom Franklin novel and was very surprised and I loved it.
Published by Donna , 4 years ago
I like to keep reviews simple not to spoil for anyone. My first Tom Franklin novel.
I love detective, crime noir, mysteries. James Lee Burke, Ross MacDonald, John MacDonald, Robert B Parker,
all over the spectrum, I love heroes, puzzles, thick plots.
This story started a bit slow for me but I still could not put it down.
The characters, writing different than I am used to more plain and direct. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Was I surprised within the story and I love to be surprised in books I read, predicting characters deeds or not I prefer
surprise.
Anyway I highly reocmmend, I always buy hardcovers, paperbacks hard to hold open and print so tiny. I usually read
my two times.
