A review by williemeikle
Ondergang om middernacht by Alistair MacLean
4.0
This is my favorite of all of MacLean's thrillers, and not just because it is set in my native Scotland.
MacLean's books often rely of a big twist near the end. In many of the lesser books, Bear Island for example, you can see it coming from far away. But in WEBT, he keeps things taut, and the action moves so fast and furiously it doesn't give you time to think.
The other great thing about this one is the beginning. It starts right in with a great suspense scene, and just ranks up the tension from there.
