Editoral Review
Allison Brennan’s See No Evil is a gripping thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Published in 2007, the novel is a classic example of the crime fiction genre, with a fast-paced plot, well-drawn characters, and plenty of suspense.
The story follows FBI agent Megan Elliott as she investigates a series of murders in San Antonio, Texas. The victims are all young women who have been brutally killed and left in public places.
As Megan delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that leads her to suspect that the killer may be closer than she thinks.
Brennan’s writing style is straightforward and effective, with short, punchy sentences that keep the action moving. She has a talent for creating tension and suspense, and readers will find themselves unable to put the book down as they race to find out what happens next.
One of the book’s strengths is its character development. Megan is a complex and nuanced protagonist, with a rich backstory that adds depth to her actions and motivations.
The supporting cast is equally well-drawn, with each character contributing to the story in their own unique way.
The plot is well-structured, with plenty of twists and turns that keep readers guessing. The pacing is excellent, with just the right amount of action and suspense to keep things interesting without becoming overwhelming.
Brennan also does an excellent job of incorporating historical and cultural details into the story, adding depth and richness to the setting.
While there are a few minor flaws in the book, such as some predictable plot twists and a few moments of clunky dialogue, these are easily overlooked in light of the book’s overall strengths.
Overall, See No Evil is a fantastic thriller that is sure to delight fans of the genre. It is well-written, suspenseful, and engaging, with memorable characters and a compelling plot.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a gripping page-turner that will keep them up all night.
