Classic Trash discussion

This topic is for those who wish to discuss the book in progress. No spoilers please.

I just want to mention that I read Nerve by this author last month and I really enjoyed it. It was very character-centric and the mystery part didn’t start until a third of the way into the book, but once it did start it was pretty good. It looks like Proof might be a similar pattern. It has gotten alot of good reviews, so I’m looking forward to reading it.

Awesome!

I like how the author creates empathy for the main character, Tony. He seems real, flaws and all.

I think some readers might not like the backgound info and the character development that takes place before the mystery part begins. It's really not a thriller, but almost a "cozy" mystery in a way. The characters are the main thing, and the mystery part serves to show more aspects of who they really are.

I am about 30% in and really enjoying it so far. Tony is a great main character and the book is very well written.

I just read that the author raced horses. That would certainly inform the start of this book!

Yes, his background really adds to the feel of the story.

Ok, about halfway through this one. And I actually really like it. It's an easy, pleasant read, and I really like Tony, too. This author has me interested in his other books!

Yeah, I wanna read more of his stuff.
