Search - The Blackstone Chronicles

Awesome as usual for Saul, I love his stories and this one is no exception. Very good.

As serial novels go, I guess this was ok. But to me it was just a bunch of short stories (which I hate) that were connected because all the people lived in the same own. There isn't much of a story you can tell in 65 pages so the plot was thin, the characters not developed and the suspense forced. All in all, not his best work.

Book Description:

Now, for the first time, the New York Times bestselling serial thriller is complete in one terrifying volume. John Saul, the master of supernatural suspense, John Saul, brings to chilling life the small New England town of Blackstone--and the secrets and sins that lay buried there. . . .

But now, the wrecker's ball is about to strike--and unleash an ominous evil. Strange gifts begin to appear on the doorsteps of Blackstone's finest citizens.

Each bears a mysterious history.
