Despite the author's last name being Thrasher and despite the fact that the plot line holds a vague similarity to the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise, this book is not bad so far. The writer has fallen into the trap of revealing important information through dialogue that wouldn't actually take place. "Remember when So-and-so did that overly detailed thing that resulted in such-and-such?" "Why yes, that's why he's now this-and-that."
But I'm still a sucker for a good story, and this one is pretty interesting. It's Christian fiction from Moody Publishers, but I'm certainly not getting any "feel good" vibe yet. It's pretty edgy for a Christian novel and there have only been a couple vague references to chapel thus far. I don't want to give away too much of what's happening, but The main character is being paid to investigate the whereabouts of one of his old college buddies. In the process, he's forced to remember (and in some cases, relive) some of the most shameful and tragic experiences of his life. I don't know what sort of success he'll have yet, but someone is out to get him and is threatening him with the knowledge of some mysterious event that no one seems to fully remember, but they all regret.
