Book Description
Everything has been leading to this.
It's the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, May 23rd, and the small town of Promise Falls, New York, has found itself in the midst of a full-blown catastrophe. Hundreds of people are going to the hospital with similar flu-like symptoms--and dozens have died. Investigators quickly zero in on the water supply. But the question for many, including private investigator Cal Weaver, remains: Who would benefit from a mass poisoning of this town?
Meanwhile, Detective Barry Duckworth is faced with another problem. A college student has been murdered, and he's seen the killer's handiwork before--in the unsolved homicides of two other women in town. Suddenly, all the strange things that have happened in the last month start to add up...
Bloody mannequins found in car "23" of an abandoned Ferris wheel...a fiery, out-of-control bus wit
h "23" on the back, that same number on the hoodie of a man accused of assault...
The motive for harming the people of Promise Falls points to the number 23--and working out why will bring Duckworth closer to death than he's ever been before...
My Review
I really enjoyed this ending to the Promise Falls Trilogy. What I liked about this trilogy was the very believable characters that seem like people who may live in a small town near you. I also enjoyed the plot which had many twists and turns that keep the pages turning. The ending was such a surprise that I never saw it coming. If you haven't read a Barclay novel, what are you waiting for. His writing is excellent and I love the short chapters that make you want to read on to the next chapter. I look forward to reading my next Barclay book and I highly recommend this trilogy to those who love unique stories with unique characters.
