Hiding in Plain Sight by Eoghan Egan
4.0
I enjoyed this explosive novel which has an opening sure to hook most readers.
I felt the introduction of so many characters in such a short space of time gave a clunky (is that even a word?) beginning to the book however I am glad I persevered with the story which certainly had me turning page after page.
The characters themselves are well rounded and the author hints at secrets and mystery throughout the story. I found the book to be extremely well-written, especially for a debut novel, and the story moved with a faster pace the more I read. By the time I was halfway through I knew there was no chance of me moving from the couch until I reached the end and discovered the mystery within.
I especially liked the way the author has left us with some loose ends which I am sure will be fleshed out in the next book - this is the first of three and I am very much looking forward to reading the next one as soon as I can get my hands on a copy!
