This is my third novel by this author and I gotta say, he's fabulous. This novel features sons from his two previous novels (but knowing that or not knowing won't impact this story) who meet at random ten years after their own stories from those books. That fateful meeting sets off a chain of events that is part decades old mystery, as well as a story about friendship and family. If you have never read this author, I can highly recommend.

BarbaraBB Thanks. I have this one on my shelves:

TheLudicReader @LiteraryinLawrence it really was. 4mo
BarbaraBB No I haven‘t read any book by him. Where to start? 4mo
BethM Great mug! 4mo
TheLudicReader @BarbaraBB I would read them in this order: Descent, The Current, Distant Sons. Descent is fantastic. The Current is a slow burn. Distant Sons is somewhere in the middle. They are all excellent, though. 4mo
BarbaraBB Thank you so much. I will do as you suggest! 🤍 4mo

I really enjoyed this book, and found myself speed reading out of anxiety to see what would happen next. I do feel that I ended up with more questions at the end than answers. I‘d love to discuss this book with someone who‘s read it. I wasn‘t thrilled with the way it ended, only because I felt a bit confused. All in all, it was a good book and definitely worth reading.
