This Plague of Souls by Mike McCormack

4.0

NO SPOILERS:

I gave This Plague of Souls 4/5 for the writing and only the writing. The plot, story and characters held little interest for me but McCormack’s skill with words had me re-reading passages in awe. He writes with such understanding of being human, such observation of emotions. The scenes where Nealon stands in his empty house, makes coffee, looks out of the window…all these had me captivated. Tis brilliant stuff.

So if you like a thrillerish book and enjoy skilled, crafted writing, then you are in for a treat.
