Review: Suicide Thursday

Suicide Thursday by Will Carver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If there is a common theme running through Will Carver's books, it's that there is no common theme (OK in this one he did reuse his computer company DoTrue from Psychopaths Anonymous, but we can forgive him that). His characters always seem weird, yet there is always just enough there for you to believe in them. It's a fine line that he is a master of navigating. Unlike the other books of his that I have read, I didn't have a central question that I was waiting to see answered. Instead I found myself wondering where the book was taking me. At the end was a twist, but when it came, I didn't really care that mush about it. So far this may sound a rather lacklustre review, why the 4 stars? Well having read the book, what with it being a Will Carver book, one tends to think back over what has just been read. For me, it's at that stage when all those observations from life start to percolate through my mind and I realise that I've been taken on a very intriguing journey. If you haven't read any Will Carver yet, then you really should do.
