It has been a LONG time since a Thriller/Crime book has taken my fancy and been able to hold my attention, and there was something about The Nothing Man that finally broke that stint.
A cleverly told story where Howard managed to keep that suspense and mystery going; there were still times where I knew things were going to happen, and they did, but it was written in a way that still held my interest, which is a rarity. A book about a book? With murder? Where the murderer is still at large? Yes please!
 I'll be going back for more of Howard's work to see if they're equally good!

Oh gosh this book was soo good and its a really great example of a "smart thriller". I LOVED the fact that it was a book within a book. I listened on audio which was a very enjoyable experience since the "book" part was narrated by a woman and the chapters from the Nothing Mans perspective was a man... also you cant go wrong with Irish accents, This book was well written, perfectly paced, mysterious and tense, and the dual perspectives was perfect. I plan to read all of the rest of this author's books
