Disturbed
By Kevin O'Brien
This book that I recently inhaled over a lock-all-the-doors
weekend was suspense at its best. And
yes, I was Disturbed, in a good
way. Wow! This author’s characters and situations feel
very realistic. The mystery all takes
place involving every day people, adding to the fearful feeling that grows as
you read, that this could really happen.
Your imagination will be ignited by suspects and alleged motives. It’s amazing how involved a reader becomes
trying to solve the mystery, as if the reader is actually one of the residents
living at Willow Tree Court, part of it all, and needing to stop it.
It’s so much fun to get on and ride this roller coaster of
twisted passions and intrigue. A serial
murderer is on the loose. The target is
specific people in their homes where they live on a certain type of street, on
cul-de-sacs. Be on your guard. No one is safe, while the reader and the
characters try to determine if there’s some other pattern for why these people
are being attacked in their homes.
There’s a particular family the author is following. The husband and wife are trying to settle
into a very recent second marriage, with his kids who are a teenage boy and his
younger sister. On the outside of this
marriage are his ex-wife who moved nearby and her friends who are still living
in that same cul-de-sac. As the plot
unfolds, the secrets that are revealed just within this family will raise the
hairs on the back of your neck. A
menacing quote from one character that will send shivers down your spine is the
ominous, “I knew all your secrets – and all your weaknesses.”
Before becoming a New York Times Best Selling Thriller
Author, and recipient of many awards, Kevin O’Brien’s interesting background
was as a railroad inspector by day and novel writer by night. A huge Hitchcock fan, Kevin O’Brien delivers
a thrilling suspense of his own in his many hold-your-breath books. I recommend his books, and now there’s one
more – his new book Hide Your Fear is
now available.
