From the author of the widely acclaimed debut novel A Stirring in the North Fork, Mark Torres’ next installment, Adeline, is a fast-paced, gripping tale about the mysterious death of an innocent young woman wrongly committed to a notorious mental asylum in 1977. The ever-determined Savoy Graves returns to try and unmask the sinister fiend, only to find himself plunged deep into the dangerous and dark world of a maniacal secret society willing to guard its identity at all cost. Will Graves achieve justice for this long buried unsolved murder? And if so, what personal sacrifices will he be forced to make?
What a tragic but good story. Lots of twists and action in this story. It was nice to see the mystery of what happened to Adeline solved and those who were responsible be held accountable. A good story that goes back and forth between the present day investigation and the past crime.
A helpless Father. A disabled Mother. A mysterious death that would haunt them through the years. At the heart of it all, a happy young girl. Could anyone unravel the details and find the answer the family desperately needed? Savoy Graves was hired to make sense of this mystery and time was limited. This case was gonna be difficult. Savoy jumped in with both feet, spurred on by the oddities he found along the way.
This book is a fantastic read. The first thing you will notice is the large amount of characters introduced in a very short time. You will be knee deep in this mystery before you realize it. The page turning story will keep you reading until you get to the end.Great characters. Well plotted. Fast paced. Characters you can easily related to. This book has it all. Mr. Torres writes a very well rounded book. You'll be telling friends and family to read this one.
The only issue I found was the number of characters introduced in the first twenty-five pages. You almost need to take notes to keep track of everyone. I think it deprives the rest of the book in a way. Adding that number of characters a little at a time gives the reader a chance to weigh each character and decide whodunit.
I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because despite the issue I found, this one will make your flesh crawl. copy of book provided by author and I voluntarily reviewed it.
