The Prophet by Michael Koryta
4.0
I am glad to see that Michael Koryta has quit the paranormal genre. I loved his first books but could not finish the first of his paranormal trilogy.
I really enjoyed The Prophet, and while there was a mystery about who the killer was that was not what the book was really about. It was really the story of two brothers and how differently they handled a tragic family event many years previously. It was also a book about Ohio football. Lots and lots of football stories and a great look at what it really means to be a coach of high school students.
If you are just looking for a suspense/thriller this probably isn't the book for you. But, if you enjoy exceptional character development and an in depth look at how events can effect people so differently, and you love football, you will love The Prophet.
