What I Thought Of It: Robert Dugoni's novel The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell was my favorite novel published for adults during the year of 2018. So I was excited when a member of my BBC announced we would be reading another one of his stories. While I enjoyed this mystery, it doesn't compare or hold up to my feelings towards his other novel. This was truly a murder mystery story without the intense character development that the other story contained. The reading of the story was enjoyable and keep me on my toes trying to figure out who was truly responsible for Sarah's murder. There were some intense twists and turns. It would be interesting to see what this series and the character of Tracy go after this first book.
Who Should Read It: I would think any adult reader who enjoys a strong and well developed murder mystery would be ideal for this novel by Robert Dugoni. I would say to read The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell first because I think that is such an incredible and touching story.
Rating: 4 STARS out of 5 Stars!
