Nine Lives

Product Information

One of these people is Jessica Winslow, an FBI agent from New York who immediately tries to find connections, tracking down the recipients to see if they have anything at all in common. sorry, but I seriously kept forgetting who you were) and I thought the mystery was well-concealed until the end. Even those who are identified and provided protection are not safe with a killer on the loose who will leave no stone unturned in finishing off his intended victims.

If you are an author or publisher who would like me to read your book please read my Review Policy to see if my blog fits your book. I absolutely loved this book, reading it in two sittings, just having to know what happened next, and why.The plethora of POVs might be a detraction for many people because you could easily get lost or bored with all of the introductions of characters.

Ron Haflidson places the theology of Augustine in conversation with contemporary authors, who warn of the dangers of abandoning solitude for constant (often technological) connection. I’ve been reading Peter Swanson novels since 2016, in which “The Killing Kind” totally blew me away and kept me on my toes.Could this detail of the story indicate why the people on the mysterious list of Nine Lives are being targeted? There is nothing unnecessary, the premise remains clear throughout and despite the almost sparsity of the narrative the characters are extremely well portrayed and you know who you like or don’t. They’re a diverse group, mostly in their mid-thirties, bar the ill-fated Frank and a recent retiree by the name of Jack Radebaugh. I also thought it was odd that every time the list of 9 names showed up after someone died, that person’s name wasn’t crossed off. Given the plot of Christie's And Then There Were None, I found myself paying close attention to each person on the list, wondering about each of them.

I did like how Detective Hamilton’s knowledge of Christie’s books-delivered us the answers in the end.Not my favorite Swanson, but a solid read that kept me speculating and I appreciated that it stayed coherent from beginning to end. That is an elderly man, Frank Hopkins is the first name on the list to die on a beach in Kennewick, Maine.
