1 post | 1 read
The author of the “moving head-spinner of a novel” (John Connolly) The Other Side of Night returns with a taut thriller following a desperate single father as he searches for the anonymous employer who hired him as a hitman. Peyton Collard was a good man once, but his life changed after a horrific car accident. Divorced, drunk, and severely damaged, Peyton is offered a life-changing sum of money to kill an evil man. But as he goes on a vigilante journey that leaves a trail of bodies across California, Peyton wonders about the identity of his anonymous patron. Soon, his questions become an obsession, and he embarks on a tense and potentially deadly investigation to discover the truth about the murders he’s committed.

Mehso-so

This novel grabbed me with its opening–a confession by our anti-hero and narrator Payton–but it failed to maintain that hold at times. I did enjoy the narration. The second I heard Chris Henry Coffey‘s voice I was excited because I enjoyed his narration of The Butcher; his name alone hadn‘t clued me in, but I that won‘t happen again. He brings a lot of character to Peyton; he almost paints a picture of what Peyton looks and acts like.
