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!

Wow this was an unputdownable book!  I enjoyed the way it was a book in a book as well as the alternate points of view.  I read this in a day, there was no way I could sleep without knowing how it ended!
