A review by kirkw1972
Return to Hiroshima by Bob Van Laerhoven
4.0
I won a copy of this book through Rafflecopter. Sometimes it's worth it to request something out of your reading comfort zone because I don't normally read noir fiction and so would have missed a really intriguing book.
It's very dark and compelling tale taking place during the 50th anniversary of Hiroshima. I don't really know much of Hiroshima beyond what I have occasionally read in newspapers or general war history books. Events of that time play a part in how the story eventually unfolds. It starts with a series of unconnected characters that slowly start to come together as the book progresses and there are so many layers to be unraveled. It definitely challenged me as a reader.
Ultimately though I enjoyed it and would recommend it to any fans of crime, thrillers and noir stories.
