A review by annakinskywalker
The Troop by Nick Cutter

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

This book was intense. It took me a couple weeks to read but it was well worth it. I loved the way the book was formatted with the court transcript and newspaper articles intermixed. In the acknowledgments, Cutter says he was inspired by King's similar use of multiple sources to tell a narrative in Carrie, a book I enjoyed greatly for that reason. I was constantly trying to guess how it would all unfurl at the end. It was gripping and gory and impossible to put down. I'm excited to pick up more from Nick Cutter in the future!
