Pines by Blake Crouch

Pines

by

Blake Crouch

The series, or trilogy, consists of three books that could be classified in so many different ways … thriller, suspense, a wee bit of mystery, some futuristic/science fiction and other elements I prefer not to divulge because I don’t want to ruin it for you. It’s hard to imagine an audience for which it wouldn’t be well-received, except perhaps the most die hard non-fiction type.

Inspired by Twin Peaks, according to the author’s site.

The quick and dirty … federal agent Ethan Burke shows up in Wayward Pines, looking for a fellow agent that disappeared in the area. Something is wrong with the people of Wayward Pines, however, and things quickly go awry.

That’s giving you very little, I know, but the books are fantastic.  This is the leader … now go to Amazon and read up on them for yourself.  You won’t regret it.

Hard-hitting, punchy scenes and dialogue such as you might get from Robert Parker, suspense like Lee Child, and so on, and so forth.

Possibly the most satisfying ending to a series I have ever encountered. Nearly perfect. Kudos, Mr. Crouch, on an amazing set of books.

Recommended for anyone who enjoys suspense, thriller, science fiction, dystopian, or futuristic reads.
