THE FORGOTTEN ROOM by
Lincoln Child
Here you have it – an exciting thriller with no profanity, no
hot and heavy sex and little violence. Well, there is some violence – several murders,
a grisly suicide (or maybe not a suicide), a crazy person or two, a secret room
with diabolical machines and, of course, the hapless scholar cum
detective.
The characters are decently drawn, the plot is clear, the
tension is heart stopping. It is easy to
see why Child is a bestselling author.
If you like mysteries that slowly draw you in and then amp up the
tension, this is the book for you. One
of the best of the genre.
5 of 5 stars
