Four Corners of Night

I love Craig Holden's style of writing. He's not afraid to vilify his protagonists. He's also completely inside his character's heads, fully developing them and their histories in a way that few authors do. This story was gritty and emotional, entering territory that most writers would eschew, but doing it in a way that makes the reader welcome the outcome, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

This is a dark mystery with realistic, complex characters. The current events and relationships are beautifully interwoven with those of seven years in the past. Suspenseful and surprising. I would highly recommend it for mystery readers who like thought provoking writing and stories.

It is not harrowing. It is not heartbreaking. It is not absorbing. It is not haunting. It is boring.
Was a real page turner for me, though. Could not wait to finish so that I could move on to a good read.

Story set in Ohio of two policemen, one of whose daughters disappeared in mysterious circumstances a number of years previously and the sudden disappearance of another young girl brings back memories and has strange echoes of his own daughter. OK but fact it took me nearly two weeks to read says it all!

Pretty good mystery but an unlikely resolution, I thought.

Fairly predictable.
