A review by fleurette
The Hundredth Man by Jack Kerley

3.0

I have mixed feelings about this book. I think I have generally liked it but I have expected something more.

The plot is quite interesting and kept me guessing till the end. I also enjoyed the characters. But to be honest the whole package is rather unmemorable. It's so similar to the other thriller I have read that I wouldn't remember it after a month or two.

In the end is just a crazy killer, the person nobody suspects, and Ava, the hero's sweetheart, in his hands. And Carson nearly dying while trying to rescue her. I also felt disappointed that Carson decided to ask his brother for help. I wanted for him to be strong and show that he can solve a case on his own.

I didn't like that there are many male characters with names beginning for J. Carson's brother, the first victim, somebody else. It wasn't easy to make a distinction between them sometimes.

I generally enjoyed the reading and rate it 3 stars.
