Review
This was a very intriguing book, the main protagonist is a newspaper writer, and when Isabel Moss calls him for a story he's not really interested. But, she quickly makes him interested. I have to say I didn't really care for any of the characters in the novel other than one soldier, who I won't tell you what happens to.
Dan, the newspaper writer was a little too gullible for my liking, Isabel seemed to be able to wrap him round her little finger. It did have quite an interesting concept for a mystery novel and something I hadn't read before which kept me reading. The idea of a man being killed at war and somehow things not going how the government had said was an interesting idea. I hope though, that this is not the case in real life. There would be nothing worse than not knowing how your husband really died. I found myself not understanding the reaction that Isabel Moss which Piacente described, to me this section was a little unrealistic.
The plot did keep me interested and I did want to know what would happen next, which is what kept me reading. And that's always good, right? Is there justice at the end? That's for you to decide.
I like when there are newspaper people in the plot! You know there will be lots of intrigue.
ReplyDeleteThe characters seem different as well - and the plot sounds like a political commentary of sorts.
