amalyndb 's review for:
Gideon's Corpse
by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
Content note: Islamaphobia,
This felt disappointingly obvious, in the vein of other thrillers post 9/11 - a low hanging fruit - until we hit the twist in the plot. Building on prejudices that have become more evident during recent elections and right wing media, Gideon's Corpse is an exercise in the hysteria and blindness that comes from something seeming the obvious answer to those in charge.
Was hard to put down when I really got into it: a race against the clock to prevent a nuclear weapon being unleashed on the American mainland, although the in-character Islamaphobia was a bit hard to stomach.
