Kill The Messenger

One of those spine chilling books that had me flipping through pages to see what would happen to Jace Damon. Hoag describes how this bicycle messenger gets caught in a murder which he does not wish to be in and how he finds himself so tangled in it, that he's one of the major suspects! I've never read any of Hoag's older books, so i'm not sure what her style is like. But for a first read, this book really impressed me. One thing that i found in this book is that, its got a little too much cramped in a few pages. There are too many thrillers in the story and they seem to keep coming on incessantly. I guess its a good thing for a person like me who loves to read thriller novels, but for regular readers, its too much of a good thing! The characters she sketches in the story - Kev Parker, the detective and Jace, the messengers are the main characters. The story revolves around them and how Kev ends up solving the murder mystery with a little help from Jace and his little brother.
