A well deserved 5 star. Click on the photo to take you to Amazon.
This is my third book by Max Power and my favourite so far. Even
though the two previous books; Little Big Boy and Darkly Wood, were very
different to this thriller set in the USA, I recognise the writer’s distinct
style. Mr Power uses a clever ploy to keep the reader interested. At the end of
the chapter we are often left with a tantalising clue or cliff-hanger. As long
as the action and the revelations keep coming this works well. Bad Blood had me
engrossed from start to finish as the plot took me in several unexpected
directions. I loved the part where the action was taken to Dublin, as here we
got to see the lighter and more humorous side of the writer this is also the
moment when things start to fall into place. I enjoyed the banter at the car
hire desk. This is not a comedy however and there are some very dark and
gruesome moments in this thriller, but it is the characters and strong story
that makes this such a riveting read. Recommended.
