The Blackhouse by Peter May
5.0

I feel like Peter May writes the way I write. He's a showing, not telling kind of author, and I really love his style.

But that's not all I can say about this book! It's so gripping! It starts with a murder. But there are so many more mysteries than the murder, and so much back story and character development! I really got into the characters (might have a crush on one of them...). Just the way the story is built is a joy to read and fascinating to unravel through all its twists and turns. I had less than 10% left to read when I got to my stop on the subway, and I was really dreading getting off of the train!


Favorite Quotes from the book:

"Whatever your blackest fear, Fin. Whatever your greatest weakness. These are things you must face up to. Things you must confront, or you'll spend the rest of your life regretting it."

"A journey that you would rather never end always passes quickly."
