phannie 's review for:
Pigeon-Blood Red
by Ed Duncan
RTC 3.5 ⭐ *This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review! *
So first of all, I think that I have to start with the fact that the book isn’t very long. Which is a great thing to be honest? I like reading big books but when life is pretty stressful reading a shorter book is so relaxing and great. Especially if it’s fast-paced like Pigeon-Blood Red.
During the story, we follow Rico Sanders trying to get back a pigeon-blood red ruby necklace that has been stolen by a colleague of him. I don’t think that I have to mention that Rico’s boss was certainly not amused when that necklace went missing. On that journey, the readers are going to meet a whole bunch of characters. Some that you simply have to love and others that you simply hate. There are no in-between characters.
I can’t say that there was only one main character (Rico). For me, every single character mentioned in this crime novel is an MC. They share the same importance to the story than Rico does. Some of them were described perfectly that you knew almost their whole life after the end of book one. Others, however, were not that much described.
The chase after the necklace becomes really thrilling at a certain time of the novel and at some point, I couldn’t even stop reading. I had to know what was going to happen. And (at least that was my case) you didn’t see certain events come. I know that something surprised me because I came to a whole other conclusion and then *BOOM* it’s a whole other thing happening that I certainly didn’t see coming.
There is a lot of suspense in this book and in the end, I really enjoyed the story. I gave it a 3 1/2 rating on Goodreads.
I can recommend it to every suspense lover and crime/Thriller reader out here in the bookish community that likes to enjoy a very fast-paced read.
