I really liked this book. I kept thinking about it during times when I wasn't reading it, which I like.
Pretty good read. I had no idea where the story was going when I first started reading it. At the end I was trying to think of the ways that the story could go. I gave it 3 1/2 stars because there were a few grammar errors. Also, towards the beginning I was unsure about the timeline. It seemed like a flashback, but then the story picked up at the end of the "flashback." That was kind of confusing. Other than that I liked it.
I read Dire Means quite some time ago and am finally getting to the review. (I am reader and not a writer, is my only excuse.) The story is clever and different, which is not a statement that comes lightly to an avid reader. I enjoyed the suspense and especially, the kick-*** female character, Morana. She's one of those types you have a love-hate relationship with as you read.
The crux of the novel is that a criminally minded homeless advocate takes revenge on the well-to-do, cruel-to-the-homeless citizens of Santa Monica, CA. The city is in a fear-induced state of lockdown, but law enforcement can't seem to get even a small break in the case. Until slightly bumbling, but technologically gifted Mark Denny gets caught up in the fray and becomes suspect number one. He ends up in the dangerous snare of the real mastermind and his cult-like company, a departure from his relatively routine, quiet life. To save his own life and stop the murderous rampage of the villains, he must use every bit of technological genius he has at his disposal, as well as summon courage he never knew he had.
I truly enjoyed this book, and despite a bit of a lag in the middle, I am won-over by new author, Geoffrey Neil's ability to spin a wild tale of suspense and terror. I definitely took the stairs a few times after reading this book...and you probably will, too.… (mere)
