Loved by me, my wife and my daughter – no other book has ever satisfied such a diverse audience!– Phil Panic bubbled to the surface. Rob and I had been married for three years. We were good at talking things through; at finding a compromise when we disagreed. But here, there could be no compromise. The Hook I’m seeing this everywhere and once again have been drawn in by the hype. IMHO, it is deserved this time.Part One of this book is all about stage-setting. The reader is presented with various perspectives on the book’s central crime: a hit and run accident where a young boy is killed, and the driver never stops to help. We see the accident from the mother’s perspective—we witness her heartbreak, her worst nightmare come to life, and her inability to cope with her guilt at not being able to protect her son from this tragedy. We see the accident from the perspective of the police officers tasked with finding the boy’s killer—we see how this case has consumed the lead detective’s life, causing him to undermine his personal relationships and ignore his family in a single-minded search for justice. We feel the reverberations of this tragedy, and watch as our story’s characters struggle to carry its weight. Rob and I drove home in silence, trapped in our own nightmares. We talked through the night, falling asleep on the sofa and waking to find our cheeks wet with tears, clinging to each other as though we were drowning.

Although I hate writing such a vague review when I feel the need to discuss the characters and my personal opinion of them, and would like to have the opportunity to drop a few clues that would compel someone to give the book a try, I can tell you that if you like psychological thrillers and mysteries you will most likely appreciate this one and the cunning technique of the author employs.

I loved many of the characters and I certainly loved the small, ocean town and I could envision what it would be like to live there. Oh dear Lord, I have to stop here before I give something away. I so want to tell all of you every little thing so you can have the OMG moment with me!
