OK book .… (mere)

This was a pretty solid book with some rather atmospheric descriptions of Boston. As an Australian I'm not really familiar with Boston's layout and vibe, however the scenes painted interestingly were clear enough to have a clear idea of the lay of the land from having played Fallout 4 which was sent in Boston also, and featured many of the same landmarks as the novel.

I found the initial section of the book with the serial killer on the prowl was particularly good, however it then seemed to lag a little in the middle and I was somewhat losing concentration and interest. Then that could have been due to the fact I'd been up for 40 hours at the time. At any rate, the story then gets back up and going as the threads of seeming different matters begin to wind together suspiciously and characters who seemed dirty end up being upstanding people to varying degrees, and those who seemed upstanding end up being not so upstanding, also to varying degrees.

Overall I'd say it was decent, but not outstanding. It lacked the enthrallment you get with James Sheehan, John Grisham & Patterson.… (mere)
