The Homecoming by Alan Russell

4.0

Being a fan of Alan Russell's work, it was a no-brainer for me to pick this up and lose a few hours to it. I was compelled by the story surrounding Stella's disappearance and her return. There were a lot of element that kept me interested: Detective Cheever, Guy Wilkerson, Stella and Luke, and Stella's family.

The only thing that kept me from giving this five stars was the fact that I had so many unanswered questions. It felt like there were a lot of excess characters and not enough movement that really explained what was going on with Stella during the seven years she was missing. It felt like there were three different plot lines that weren't meeting up like they should have.

Should you read this? Oh yes. It definitely gets your mind roaring and ready to explore. Would I recommend this to others? You bet.
