Title: What makes a good thriller?
Product review: Obviously, as you can see from my rating, I don't consider this a good thriller. It does too many things that it should not.The plot is overdone and much too implausible. The surprises come like hail stones in a storm. The characters are colourful and unusual, too much of that. There is far too much melodrama. The revelations of past events are plain junk food for the mind.On top of that, the narrative concept sucks. You have a first person narrator who is in the middle of the plot, and then every few chapters, a 3rd person narrator shows up who introduces mysterious personae in mysterious circumstances, who are obviuously somehow related to the central mystery of the disappeared elder brother of the central man, and his mysterious alleged murder.I give two stars instead of one, because the author is good at twisting the tale. But then, the book is totally superfluous.
