Review: Coming of Age Thriller
Rating: 5 out of 5

“Murder Island” is most certainly a thriller novel, and one that will hook the reader from the first page. The plot is full of exciting twists and turns, and it is almost impossible to guess the outcome of the book until the very end. The four main characters of the book are executed flawlessly, with amazing depth of character and outstanding evolution during the 10 years of their lives the book covers. This is amazing, simply because most authors will focus heavily one just one protagonist, leaving the other characters weakly developed, if at all.This is a coming of age novel to rival Stephen King’s best-selling “It,” detailing wonderfully the lives these teenagers live until they finally return to that fateful spot at Lake Superior to face the tragedy they witnessed a decade earlier. If you are a fan of thrillers, this book is sure to please.
