Review: An Engrossing Read
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 7, 2013
Well written (with only a few typos, not enough to interfere with the flow) and fast-paced, this one starts with a bang and keeps on going. Though the plot feels a bit contrived in places, and Charlie tended to explain the plot over much, the characters are compelling enough to make the reader want to suspend disbelief. Hankins keeps the love interest well to the side, though I would have liked a bit more active participation in helping Charlie solve the mystery on Jessica's part. This is definitely a man's read that women will enjoy equally. Looking forward to "Jack of Spades" and "Drawn." For me, "Brothers and Bones" was well worth the read.
