The genius of the author is displayed in the careful way in which circumstance logically leads to other circumstances, entwines with rising tension and increasing pace, all calculated to ensnare and carry the reader to the final logical conclusions. Multiple layers and threads weave in and out with care and though a complex novel with something to say about relationships, we are never confused, never lost. Blackheart Highway is a stunning accomplishment. For questions or comments about a review, please contact the person listed at the top of the review.
