The Boy - The new thriller from the Sunday Times bestseller (Paperback)

MOTHER. LIAR. MURDERER? When Genevieve's seven-year-old son is found bleeding to death in his own home, she's horrified when the police turn to her for answers. There's no evidence of a break-in, and parts of Genevieve's story don't seem to make sense. But could a mother really kill her own child? Twenty-four hours later, teenager Nora Florette is reported missing - and panic begins to spread. Someone is preying on the local children - and the police are caught in a race against time to catch the killer. Detective Nick Fourcade and his partner Annie Broussard must uncover the truth about Genevieve's past before it's too late. Is she simply a grieving mother? Or is she a danger to them all? The Sunday Times bestseller is back in a nail-biting thriller, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Harlan Coben. Praise for Tami Hoag: 'Authentic, dark and intense' Tess Gerritson 'Deviously plotted' Lisa Scottoline 'Heart-stopping' Carol Goodman

Tue, 24 Sep 2019 | Review by: Breakaway R.

A dark, depressing and deadly thriller! “The Boy’’ is the second in the series of married Detectives Nick Fourcade and Annie Broussard. Both are dedicated in their respective job roles, and they certainly have enough to deal with in this dark, depressing, and deadly thriller! There are so many simultaneous cases for Nick and Annie to solve, starting with the horrendous murder of a seven-year-old boy. Who would commit such a heinous crime? Does his mother have her hidden secrets? Nick has to deal with an extremely difficult boss, Kelvin Dutrow, both of whom detest each other. Suffice it to say there are numerous confrontations with so many of the characters. The reason I felt that “The Boy” should have three-stars, was because the plot dragged on for quite a while, which was a shame because it was very nearly a four stars award. If only the plot were tighter. Also I think that people in the USA would have more in common with the area, set in the Deep South. Amazingly it seems that there is so much crime in sleepy Bayou Breaux, Louisiana! Once the plot picked up, I enjoyed the twists and turns, leading to an unexpected conclusion. Galadriel.
