The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens
4.0
I liked this. Sometimes I struggle with mystery/thriller types ... I'm always second guessing and trying to figure out "the twist". There weren't any real surprises here for me. As things were revealed, I'd already assumed what was now uncovered. It kept my interest and I cared about the characters.
First person, past tense, very conversational tone. Just basic chronological chapters, no headers. Some slight time shifts as memories and past events were uncovered.
Start of a series ... this wrapped up, looks like the sequels carry on with a couple of the characters, but not a direct continuation. Not sure if I'll get to them. Possibly.
Content concerns - proFanity x 24 and discussion/description of rape/murder (burned body)/war.
