Great novella, can't wait for more




At long last, the third installment in the Andrew Z. Thomas series and prequel to Crouch's and Konrath's thriller STIRRED...

Somehow, Luther Kite has found them.


Following the events of DESERT PLACES and LOCKED DOORS, Andy Thomas and Violet King are hiding out in the wilds of northern Canada, where Violet has a four-month-old son and a burgeoning romance with Andy. On a cold, rainy night at their cabin in the woods, the promise of an idyllic life that seems just around the corner is shattered when a man from their past, a monster of pure malevolence, returns. What he has in store for them will challenge their understanding of evil and stretch the fibers of their love to the breaking point.


"Break You" is a novella, continuing the story of Andrew Thomas. There is almost a surreal quality about this book - vivid descriptive passages (as in all of Crouch's books) describing the empty factories and homes in the barren landscapes of car assembly graveyards.

A stay-up-all-night thriller




LOCKED DOORS is Blake Crouch's second novel; his first, DESERT PLACES.

I began reading LOCKED DOORS at 10:00 p.m. on a Monday evening, and kept reading until I was too tired to hold the book properly. Crouch quite simply is a marvel. He changes perspective, points of view, and tense at whim, challenging you to hang on and ride with him. And it's easy to do. He's so good you'll want to hug him because you love him or smack him because you're jealous; sometimes you want to do both, simultaneously.

I'll give you an example. LOCKED DOORS involves, among other things, a gentleman named Luther Kite who is as dangerous and fearsome as anyone you could meet. One of the best passages in the book concerns a visit Kite pays to a Waffle House, where he orders pancakes. You know that either it'll turn out okay or he'll be painting the walls, but you're not sure which. I guarantee you though that if you read LOCKED DOORS you'll visit a Waffle House, just once, to see if Luther Kite is there. You won't be able to resist; Crouch's descriptive powers are that finely honed. Then there's another scene, darn near perfect, where Kite goes into a Wal-Mart...

New Talent, New Blood, A Roller Coaster Ride



The first installment in the Andrew Z. Thomas Series and a prequel to Crouch's and Konrath's thriller STIRRED...

Greetings. There is a body buried on your property, covered in your blood. The unfortunate young lady's name is Rita Jones. In her jeans pocket you'll find a slip of paper with a phone number on it. Call that number. If I have not heard from you by 8:00 P.M., the police will receive an anonymous call. I'll tell them where Rita Jones is buried on your property, how you killed her, and where the murder weapon can be found in your house. (I do believe a paring knife is missing from your kitchen.) I strongly advise against going to the police, as I am always watching you.

Andrew Z. Thomas is a successful writer of suspense thrillers, living the dream at his lake house in the piedmont of North Carolina. One afternoon in late spring, he receives a bizarre letter that eventually threatens his career, his sanity, and the lives of everyone he loves. A murderer is designing his future, and for the life of him, Andrew can't get away.

Dear Reader: Please keep the light on tonight. What happens next will scare you. Guaranteed.

If you like endings that never seem to end, this one book you must read.





Blake Crouch has written one captivating mystery with "Abandon". In 1893 the entire town of Abandon disappears under mysterious circumstances and then 116 years later, a team of explorers go to the town to do some research and take photos. When two of the guides are attacked in front of the rest of the group, the mystery becomes even more mysterious. Alternating between the two time periods, Crouch has the reader watch as events unfold in the past, and how the tension builds up as we discover what the real reason these people are here. I, at first, was skeptical, thinking this was a supernatural type of story but was completely and happily surprised that this was as suspenseful thriller based on greed. Great book.

The Last Town


Blake Crouch Expertly Finishes Wayward Pines Series with "The Last Town"

I have been a fan of Blake Crouch for a few years now. If you spend any time looking around this blog, you'll see me going on and on about his outstanding thriller RUN, which I think is still one of the best thriller/suspense novels of all time.

Crouch manages to get you care about characters while pacing his novels at break-neck speed. The intensity of each novel, even ones in a series, manage to ratchet up the tension until you are ready to explode. If you are reading it in paperback, you cannot turn the pages fast enough, and if you are reading it digitally, the one-tenth of a second it takes for the device to go to the next page feels like an eternity.

Crouch followed up RUN with the novel PINES. It told the story of Secret Service agent Ethan Burke who wants up in the strange town of Wayward Pines. It seems like the perfect town, set high in the mountains, and he was sent there to find a missing agent, but things are not what they seem. To tell you much more is to spoil the plot and that would be a shame.

The second novel in the series was entitled Wayward Pines and it was also brilliant, but if you haven't read the first one, I can't tell you a damn thing about the second. Suffice it to say, the action was intense, the drama was brilliant and the story was breathtaking in scope and speed.

Now, as Wayward Pines is set to become a Fox Network TV mini-series, Crouch finishes his trilogy with The Last Town. Once again, Crouch proves that he is one of the best thriller/suspense writers out there. The novel is truly un-put-downable. I finished it in just over a day. It picks up right where the second novel leaves off and many, many exciting, terrifying and thrilling things happen. None of it I can really tell you about without a huge SPOILERS alert, and I hate writing that, so I am not going to do it.

Seriously, if you love action, terror, mystery and heart-stopping suspense then you need to read the Wayward Pines trilogy. Trust me, you'll be into them so fast that you'll read all three in less than a week. You will not regret it and, if you are like me, you will be anxious to see how they transfer this one to TV.

Today I will talk about mystery and thriller books





A thriller provides the sudden rush of emotions, excitement, and exhilaration that drive the narrative, sometimes subtly with peaks and lulls, sometimes at a constant, breakneck pace. It keeps the audience on the "edge of their seats", akin to a sensation of hanging from a cliff, as the plot builds towards a climax.
Mystery fiction is a genre of fiction typically focused on the investigation of a crime. Mystery fiction is often used as a synonym fordetective fiction or crime fiction—in other words a novel or short story in which a detective (either professional or amateur) investigates and solves a crime mystery. Sometimes mystery books are nonfictional. "Mystery fiction" can be detective stories in which the emphasis is on the puzzle or suspense element and its logical solution such as a whodunit. Mystery fiction can be contrasted with hardboiled detective stories, which focus on action and gritty realism.

Mystery fiction may involve a supernatural or thriller mystery where the solution does not have to be logical, and even no crime involved
  • Anything that is kept secret or remains unexplained or unknown
  • Any affair, thing, or person that presents features or qualities so obscure as to arouse curiosity orspeculation
  • A novel, short story, play, or film whose plot involves a crime or other event that remains puzzlinglyunsettled until the very end
  • Obscure, puzzling, or mysterious quality or character
  • Any truth that is unknowable except by divine revelation.
