Deadfall by Robert Liparulo

lerat42's review against another edition

3.0

An excellent suspense novel that does indeed do as advertised by adding an additional level of believability to the characters of the stories. While there are the occasional “just happen to know how to…” moments, even those fit in well with the backgrounds and motivation of the major characters. Surprise abound in this and up until the very end, it’s hard to predict what is going to happen next. The end, however, is a bit of a let down. Not terribly so, but still things seem to wrap up just a little bit too neatly which clashes a bit against the realistic feel that author has maintained through the rest of the book. Still, if you’re looking for a thrill with “heart,” this is an excellent choice.

Whoa! Man, what a wild ride! I could not put this down. Extremely true-to-life characters that were very likable. You really begin to care for them as you get to know them.

This is a page-turning thriller if I've ever read one. The suspense will have you on the edge of your proverbial seat.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed reading a book that is clear of any foul language or innuendo, I have to drop a star due to the graphic depictions of violent death. Just a bit over the top for my taste.

Otherwise, it is a great read. A very well-written and compelling story. I will certainly be checking out Liparulo's other thrillers.

This book was fun, a very thrilled adventure into the wild. I recommend this one for those who like to hunt.
