Book Review: Danger Danger by Gerry McCullough
I have been eagerly awaiting
a new book by Author Gerry McCullough, having read and enjoyed her marvelous
debut novel Belfast Girls.
The new book exceeded my
expectations. The story of twins separated at birth is not new…what is new is
Author McCulloughs marvelous interpretation of parallel lives.
The emotional intensity of
the characters is beautifully drawn. You care for these people. I turned the
pages rapidly eager to learn more of their lives, their loves and their fear.
This book is a thriller, the
action is fast paced, the depth of characterization mesmerizing and highly
visual.
Author Gerry McCullough
serves us a feast with this book.
The women in this work come
from utterly different backgrounds and it is a measure of this authors talent
that both Katie in her working class world and her twin Annie the high flying
party girl are wonderfully sympathetic characters. Each of them are likeable,
and you can’t help but care what happens to them.
They share poor taste in
their selection of their men folk as well.
Those choices lead them into
much danger. With perfect timing and page turning action this book is
addictive, and simply unputdownable.
Soooz, thanks so much for reviewing Danger Danger on your marvellous blog as well – you're a star!
