8.21.2016 - Broken Promise

Broken Promise by Linwood Barclay

I had received the next two installments of this book from NetGalley so had to go back and purchase the first so that I would be in the know! Even so, I felt like there were situations that were alluded to that I didn't know anything about. I know this author has written lots of books and maybe some of these situations were in other books or maybe they will be answered as I read on.

Either way, this is a great book and I'm excited to read on in this trilogy. This story takes place in a small Upstate New York town (fictional town but sounds geographically like where I live!). Probably the creepiest part of this book is that it's one of those stories that features real people that make bad mistakes.

David is a journalist that comes back to his hometown of Promise Falls for a newspaper job that falls through on his first day. This leaves David and his son to live with his parents. His investigative background helps when his cousin is accused of a horrible crime. The story is told in the voice of different characters in the book, which helps to really delve into them and their part in the mystery.

This was an easy read and I raced through it - on to the next 2 books!
