One Good Deed by David Jackson
2.0
This was a hard story for me to rate. There’s no denying that this is a gripping read - the villain of the story is gloriously unhinged & this makes for great reading. The story is also very easy to read; the pacing was great & I thought everything flowed well.
What makes this hard to review is the main character, Elliott. Elliott seems to have a blindness to certain aspects of life and due to many experiences with bullying, is very non-confrontational. He’s taken in by a pretty face when he aids Rebecca in avoiding her stalker, but when the stalker attacks him, Elliott refuses to get help. Yes, you have to suspend belief in varying degrees when you read fiction, but I couldn’t do it in this case.
