Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The dead tell no tales...

Hollows Bend is a picture-perfect New England town where weekend tourists flock to see fall leaves and eat breakfast at the Stairway Diner. The crime rate – zero – is a point of pride for Sheriff Ellie Pritchett.

The day the stranger shows up is when the trouble starts. The sheriff and her deputy investigate the mysterious teenage girl. None of the locals can place her. She can’t – or won’t – answer any questions. She won’t even tell them her name.

While the girl is in protective custody, the officers are called to multiple crime scenes leading them closer and closer to a lake outside of town that doesn’t appear on any map...

Slow burner

You have to give this time, it seems to take ages to get going. I never saw the ending coming. Well narrated.

Strange

Not a typical James Patterson book and if I’d read it under a different author name I probably would have enjoyed it more.
A decent storyline with some interesting characters but I was thrown by the fact that it wasn’t what you’d expect from a Patterson story.

Deus ex machina or brilliant twist?

Whether you eventually love this book or hate it, I reckon, depends on how you see the story as a whole. I can't stand an unsatisfactory ending but I don't believe this tale has one. it provides all the artistry, character depth and exciting action of all Patterson's books, and the narration supports the story well. No spoilers here. Read it, James Patterson fans; you'll love it!
