Andy Holmes is an author currently living in San Francisco with his wife and two young daughters. He specializes in Crime, Thrillers, Sci-Fi and the supernatural. When he isn't busy reading or writing books, he spends his time exploring the city and dreaming about the future. He likes all things Batman, Sci-Fi and has a strange and unusual obsession with the beauty of language.
This is a wonderful story that I couldn’t put down. There are so many gems in this book thanks to the humor and wit of its author. The tragedy and realism tether its larger-than-life characters into a highly relatable book. Oliver’s goodness that hides behind a hazy of guilt and alcohol, Alastair’s cold omnipotence and the narrators cleverness are the stars of this book. I would highly recommend for anyone!
Short and amazing. Keeps you wanting to read! Keep the characters to a minimum which I appreciate, as well as having twists and turns that keeps it suspenseful. Great read.
