Or Else by Joe Hart

 


Review

Great thriller, twisting, exciting, and total surprise at the end.  Although there may be those who say it was predictable.

I really liked Andy Drake’s character, a perfect investigative writer, he’s where he needs to be, the air around him is glowing, he’s always on track, we’re not bored with it.

Police action/inaction reinforces the existing stereotype that the goal is not to find and capture the real killer, but to find a sucker with zero work who can be tricked into committing the murder.  Not to mention that for a death, the police immediately realize it was an accident or a suicide, despite the facts to the contrary.  Unfortunately, this is already common in books.  And unfortunately in real life.  We were not short of murders, we were moving pretty slowly, tracing the perpetrator.

There’s not a page I’m bored with, the book is almost impossible to put down.

My favorite character was the father, despite his illness, he saw the events most clearly.

Thanks to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for the opportunity to read this book.
