Hi, Freund,
Today review is about Now You See Me the new book by Chris McGeorge. Now You See Me is the second book by Chris, his first book is Guess Who. Both are stand-alone novels.
Now You See Me is out in the UK 13th June 2019.
Robert Ferringham has spent the last couple of years mourning his missing wife.
He has even written a book about it. In the middle of promoting it, he receives a called from a man called Matthew who is in prison but maintains he is innocent.
Matthew tells Robert that if he helps prove his innocence, he will tell him what he knows about his wife.
The crime itself is a mystery.
Last year Matthew and 5 of his friends went on a canal boat through the Standedge Tunnel, the longest canal tunnel in England. 6 people and 1 dog went through one side, and only an unconscious Matthew and the dogs were on the boat went it came out the other side.
With no memory of what happened. No one believes him, the police think he killed his friends and hid the bodies in a location they cant find.
Can Robert trust Matthew? Solve and unsolvable case? And find out what truly happened to his wife?
Now You See Me is a mystery wrapped in a conundrum.
Firstly the plot is well constructed. It will keep you engaged and guessing. Throughout the book, you are unsure who Richard should trust. Every person he interacts with has there own motive. It is interesting in the end to find out who he could trust.
The only issue I had with the story is that 2 of the people went missing father is a Detective Chief Inspector. DCI Claypath is involved in the case and has access to Matthew the prisoner. The person he believes killed his children. In real life, this would not happen. Claypath relationship with the victim would mean his removal from the case. Every time he appeared and talked about the case, it pulled me away from the story as all I could think is that this wouldn’t happen.
Now You See me contains little easter eggs that mention the case and show featured in Guess Who. You don’t have to read Guess Who, but it did make me smile seeing them.
Finally, if you like interesting crime thriller mystery I would advise picking up Now You See Me.
My rating for, Now You See Me is 3.8 out of 5.
