À propos de l'auteur
Avis
Reads like a made-for-tv-movie. Quick scenes, a small number of characters. A couple of villains and a plausible plot. I recommend this book because it is a very quick read. I read it for free on my Kindle in less than 3 days. I wouldn't pay more than the cost of a paperback book for it though.
This short thriller has a good idea for its plot, but it is so unfilled-out that it reads the way I imagine a book proposal might. Chapters are only a couple of pages each, jumping back and forth between characters and locations so quickly there is no time for momentum to build. In most cases where something shocking or exciting happens, the shock and excitement are described, but not what caused it. Interesting documents are "reacted to", but it would be so much more satisfying to be able to read them and make that conclusion for ourselves. There are also gaps in the action which could be filled in to increase anticipation and suspense, and the characters' back stories are too skimpy to help make sense of their action. The book also has various punctuation and other editing errors.Normally I wouldn't finish reading, or spend time reviewing, something which needs so much work, but the plot really could be made into a dynamite thriller. I really hope the author will do that some day.
