The Stolen Ones by Richard Montanari
2.0
Unfortunately, this read didn’t do much for me. I found that the plot was quite convoluted and there were simply a lot of intricacies that seemed a bit too far fetched for the tone and reach of the plot.
The Stolen Ones is a crime fiction novel following the investigation of recent slough of murders in Philadelphia. The main detectives, Jessica and Kevin, are tasked with solving the series of murders that have ravaged their town, and are soon brought face to face with Luther, a citizen who grew up in the local “warehouse for the criminally insane.”
I just found this read really hard to get into. The plot seemed a little far fetched which made it hard to hold my attention. While I’m happy I finished it (I enjoyed the ending), I wouldn’t necessarily say this is a recommended read.
However, when I looked at fellow reviews on Goodreads, I did notice that several reviewers mentioned this book was an excellent continuation of the current series (this is the 7th installment of the series following the lives of Jessica and Kevin). Therefore, had I read the others, perhaps I would have had a different experience with this one.
