The Prophet by Michael Koryta

3.0

I finished this book in one sitting, I couldn't put it down! The mystery actually takes backstage to the drama of two brothers who suffered a loss when they were younger, and who are pulled back together in the present. I like the writing here, it's concise and economical. Between the two brothers I loved Adam more and I wish we got more of him, but a lot of the book dealt with the other brother Kent and his job as a football coach. I didn't expect this and considering the extent of my knowledge on that subject solely comes from 5 seasons of Friday Night Lights, I didn't care for it. I would've given a higher rating if the book had focused more on the mystery and the brothers.
