If you love mysteries...
You will love Lying Next To Me.
I was completely immersed from page one. The action started up immediately and had me hooked till the end. I especially enjoy the local aspect. I’m a Washington girl and it tickles me to be able to relate to the scenes in his books.
The author is amazing at setting a scene. No detail is skipped over. I can smell the salt air; hear the oars hitting the water as Adam frantically tries to reach Sophie. I can hear the glass breaking and the gravel under the abductors shoes as he grabs Adams wife and disappears behind the cabin.
Gregg has a way of writing characters that you fall in love with, or hate immediately.
Excellent plot. inticing characters. And there’s always that unexpected twist. Damn that twist.
In conclusion, I enjoyed this book very much and am looking forward to “If You Tell...” which comes out in November.
