Review: It really is a thriller!

Brearton's first book, "Habit," was very exciting, a thriller with an intriguing plot, an unusual setting, and fascinating characters. The old clichés really applied: "hard to put down,"  "real page turner," and so on.I was really looking forward to his next book but ready to find what is often the case, that a second book is seldom as good as the first. That made "Survivors" a special delight - if anything, it's even better than "Habit."  It's the second of a planned trilogy, but quite complete in itself. You don't have to have read "Habit" to enjoy "Survivors," but I'd guess you'll want to once you read "Survivors."It has a rich and complex plot, with twists and turns that are skillfully handled and create the unnerving suspense that keeps one reading late into the night. Detective Brendan Healy's and Agent Jennifer Aitken's investigations converge and unearth a dark conspiracy that puts their lives in danger and entangles them in some of society's serious problems.This is a real gem of a crime thriller. I can't wait for the third book - as another reviewer noted "This guy is going places." Don't miss the journey!
