Twenty Years Later by Charlie Donlea
4.5
dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

An incredibly gripping thriller by Charlie Donlea! I was impressed by the character development and, phew! the twists! 
I really enjoyed reading this book, as I have with others by Donlea. 
I found myself guessing (and guessing wrong), but mostly just enjoying the journey. 
When the book opens with September 11th, I was really worried it was going to be a tyraid of American patriotism and the scape goating of innocent Islamic people. I was more than pleasantly surprised to find a complete lack of both of those things. The words "terrorism" and "anti-terrorism" came up probably less than 7 times. 
Overall, I recommend it!
