The Lakehouse by Joe Clifford
1.0
That book is the ultimate textbook thriller, it has all the aspects and steps of how to writer a contemporary thriller/mystery book, which are:
( A sudden murder _ a prime suspect who everyone thinks is the culprit _ a copper, preferably close to retirement just to give an edge to the book _ a small town setting, which must be described as a safe haven until the murder _ many side characters, the more the merrier _ unlimited side plots, literally everyone has to have a connection _ an ending in which you discover that the main suspect isn't the murderer ( surprised, right?) And instead it's one you didn't even doubt until the grand finale.
The book is a really slow paced one and what made it worse was the writing style, the author just kept jamming a lot of information in the same paragraph in an overly descriptive manner, also, i didn't like the heavy usage of slang and acronyms.
Don't recommend
