A review by jwillis81
The Midnight House by Alex Berenson
3.0
Overall, I thought this book was just okay. The characters were okay, the plot was okay, the dialogue was okay. What didn't really work for me was the fact that this is ultimately really a mystery story, not a thriller. The pacing is slow and the narrative is basically the protagonist running around questioning people and looking into things without any real sense of urgency or danger, so it wasn't really a "thriller" per se.
A number of people have suggested Alex Berenson books to me over the years and this was the first one I happened to read. I didn't think it was particularly great, but based on some of the other reviews here, it also seems like this might be a bit of a departure from the other books in this series, and other books the author has written. For that reason I might give another one of his books a try sometimes, but this one in particular was a bit forgettable.
