Broken Promise by Linwood Barclay

3.0

My true rating is 2.5 stars. I read this book because it is Waterloo Region's One Book One Community this year. At first, I was enjoying the main character and the setting, but by the time I was halfway through, I just wanted it to be over. This book would have been stronger if some of the extra perspectives were cut and if the author didn't use so many gimmicks, such as constantly taunting the reader with withheld information. That being said, the book is a quick and pretty well paced read. I think a lot of people will find this choice very readable and enjoyable.
