Mission Flats by William Landay

2.0

I loved Defending Jacob, so I was looking forward to reading this book. This was quite a letdown. Most of the twists were easy to spot, but the big surprise one came out of the blue and didn't really fit in with the rest of the plot, IMO. I do not like mystery novels where you have no chance of figuring out parts of the story due to the author withholding info or intentionally misleading you- it reminds me too much of the Sherlock Holmes stories where in the final reveal, Holmes tells you how he went out during the night and measured footprints and did other stuff you had no idea about until that point. If not for the final "twist", I would have given this book 3 stars. I probably won't bother with his other pre-Defending Jacob book.
