Protagonist is a great character; the plot so-so., 27 Feb 2011
By bookloverintexas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Trapdoor (Hardcover)
Andrew Klavan wrote this book using the pseudonym Keith Peterson.
In a book note it mentioned Peterson is an Edgar Award Winner, so having adored Klavan's "True Crime", and looking for more of his material I scooped this up.
I loved the protagonist, John Wells, the almost middle aged rebel newspaper journalist, wonderfully dry witted. He is assigned to cover a rash of 3 teenage suicides in the area which is complicated by the fact that his own daughter committed suicide many years earlier.
Wells is a great character, and it's an easy, enjoyable, comfortable ride by his side throughout the story.
I'm a little disappointed with the other characters and the way the mystery develops, though overall I enjoyed the book.
