Shut Your Eyes Tight
JOHN VERDON
This book is [book:Think of a
Number|7853137].
It's structurally identical and the plot is
so similar as to make the identity of the murderer obvious from very early on, assuming
you have already read Verdon's first novel, which I have. So that's a bit
disappointing but it's a gripping read anyway - because it becomes a
"howdunnit?" not a "whodunnit?"
Yes, the way the crime was committed
becomes the central mystery and it's compelling enough to make me forgive the
otherwise repetitious nature of this sequel - but Verdon should look to shake
things up for the future. Going by the blurb on the back of his third novel, he
hasn't, though.
