Review: Interesting plot twist
Rating: 4 out of 5

Hope Road is a crime thriller, with a complicated and interesting plot, good back-story, great setting, interesting and well-developed minor characters,and this area the author really shines, but with flaws in the development of the relationships and characterizations of its major characters. I did find John Ray interesting, but his motivations for a lot of his actions were puzzling and unclear, his relationships with Lanny seemed to end in gratuitous violence; and his relationship with his girlfriend was not well-developed. The clue to who the murderer was, I felt was not very subtle, and I knew who had committed the crime early on in the story. There are some plot-twists that were surprising, although the motivations behind these events are unclear. It will be interesting to read more books in this series and see how the characters develop and grow.
