55 by James Delargy
4.0
I received an ARC of this book.
Two men appear in a small West Australian town with the exact same story. He kidnapped me. He tried to kill me. I escaped. I need to be safe. Which one do you believe? Are they both killers or are they both victims? This is what Chandler and his team must learn.
Throw in a best friend whom you haven’t spoken to in years who is now your superior and you have a crazy story with heart and a mystery worry solving.
What does 55 mean? He told said I would be 55. The police need to solve this in order to work out the truth.
Chandler is trying to be the best dad he can for his kids and the best Sergeant for his town when this ‘serial killer’ falls into his lap. Suddenly, he is unsure who is telling the truth and who is safe. He is determined to get to the bottom of it so his town can go back to normal and his daughter can take her first communion.
This is a tale of conflict, of expectation and of struggle. Who will win out in the end? Can it have a good ending? You will just have to read it to find out.
This book is great for fans of Australian thrillers, especially set in small towns like The Dry and Scrublands. It has the potential to go big like they did. In fact, I will put it out there, I think that this is a better story and more well crafted book than The Dry but then again, I was never a fan.
