After losing his grip on the good life for the past fifteen years and wandering homeless in the quiet town of Oak Harbor, Washington, Evon Brisk decides there’s nothing left to live for. Now, he’s standing on the Deception Pass Bridge contemplating jumping to end it all.
Evon was once a handsome high-roller in Silicon Valley who had a life many would envy, complete with a trophy wife and a lovely daughter. But being careless with his fortune turned success into failure, and now, life is no longer worth living. Little did he realize the grave consequences his decision to end his life would have on his friends, family, and the rest of Oak Harbor. And how do words from the Bible play into it all?
With chilling interpretations of the holy book that millions read every day, Save Them All is a debut that will keep readers entranced long after the last chapter.
Solid debut novel. Save Them All is a well paced suspense/thriller that I found difficult to put down. There were several times throughout the novel that I felt that I knew what would happen and was surprised (sometimes because what I thought would happen actually did!) The characters are well-developed and easy to sympathize with and the prose is very descriptive and paints a vivid picture of the events of the story. I like the community building that the author does with the homeless of "Dreg City." He really builds them into a viable and tight knit community that work together as a family. It's an interesting and meaningful take on a population that often goes unnoticed.
All in all, I really enjoyed this novel. It moves along at a great pace and made me want to continue reading it to find out what direction Mr. Bailey would take Evon and the other characters. I look forward to seeing more from K.O. Bailey in the future and would recommend to anyone that enjoys James Patterson, Dan Brown or Michael Crichton novels.
The inaccuracies with Deception Pass and Oak Harbor were a huge distraction for me. The use of profanity in certain areas were overused. Story was fair, i pushed my way through as i paid for it but this will be a one time read.
