Blind Fall by Christopher Rice
4.0
Okay, this book was fantastic.
It's very complex and with characters whose motivations are hard to grasp and yet that doesn't make it difficult to follow. The main idea seems simple, at first: John Houck wants to redeem what he sees as his worst mistake and to do that, he needs to face his former comrade and tell him why he was distracted that day.
But nothing goes the way he had expected and from then on the story pick-ups its pace and it becomes hard to stop.
The characters are really interesting, and when we finally have all the threads coming together there is a sense of real satisfaction from a tale very well told.
I'll be listening to another story by this author ASAP.
Oh, and I really liked Frederick Weller's narration.
