The Prophet by Michael Koryta
3.0
I can usually count on Michael Koryta to come through. My main genre is fantasy, but every once in awhile you get burnt out and need something different to just get you out of your reading funk. Those are the days I head straight to the "K" section at my library and pick up one of Michael's books. And I don't even need to read the synopsis either, because everything I've read by him is just so good, I fly through it in 2 days and it does its job of "resetting" me. But this one.... eh...
The story itself was... okay? To be fair I'm not a football fan, but since I didn't actually look at it before reading it I can't fault anyone but myself. But I kept feeling like I was waiting for something bigger to happen... Was Marie's killer connected in some way? Was there a bigger secret in Rachel's past? Also, where was Rachel's body found? I don't remember that ever coming up... If she was killed in some hidden backwoods cabin, who found her? Or was her body dumped in plain sight? And the ending just fell flat for me. I'm sorry Michael! I loved all your other books, though!
