- Latest Review: Strong Heart by Charlie Sheldon
I read this whilst feeling poorly, hoping for something mildy entertaining but not too strenuous. After the slow start and the mystery that wasn´t a mystery, I was just glad to get to the end and didn´t enjoy it at all. I agree with you that the ending tied up most loose ends, though I have no desire to read the next in the series to find out if leftover unresolved subplots are resolved or not. Maybe it was just me not feeling well that contributed to my negative reaction or maybe the book just wasn´t for me.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑01 Mar 2020, 01:48 The book has a lot of mystery and subplots in the beginning which made for an amazing story. By the end of the book, many of these subplot and mysteries started winding down. I felt like though not all of the subplots were wraped up to my liking, the author did an amazing job wrapping up the mysteries.
Did you feel that the author did a successful job in wraping up all the mysteries in the book and the subplots?

Actually, I didn't like how most of the mysteries were dealt with. Biggest of them, and the foremost reason for Hillary's trip to Ireland- her Irish roots, was not wrapped up satisfactorily at all. There were too many sub-plots and not enough depth to any of them.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑01 Mar 2020, 01:48 The book has a lot of mystery and subplots in the beginning which made for an amazing story.

I completely agree with you. I felt like the mystery fell flat in this book.DragonLight877 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2020, 21:43 I was a little disappointed with the end of the book. It really didn't feel like a mystery at all, like we all knew that was exactly who it was. And then the randomness of Seamus's breakdown as well. I wish there was a bit more of a twist. The backstory of the main "villain" was a bit unexpected, but it really didn't help or change the story.

I thought the author made it seem like nothing would happen to Dermot because he was not in Ireland.

I agree with you. I love to read mystery novels and was really surprised when this one had no twists or turns. Everything turned out just as expected.
