As usual, excellence from Mr. Houghton… This book was delivered to my Kindle around 8pm last night, and I finished it this morning at 5am. Right off the bat, that should tell you something! Mr. Houghton has always been one of my favorite, sought-after authors, simply because he has a special way of bringing his characters to vibrant life… so much so that they’ve become friends (or enemies) by the end of each book. This one was no different.Â
I loved him at times Having read Kieth Houghton’s Gabe Quinn novels I was thrilled to see a new book available. To be honest, I was sorry that my old friend Gabe Quinn was not in this book but it was worth a try. What I found was a real treat. A story line that was immediately compelling and a the main character was complex and engaging. I loved him at times, I was angry with him at times, I cried for him and cheered for him. He was a complete character.Â
