review 1: Fantastic thriller from a writer I've long admired. With the Straw Men books Marshall combines a literary style in very effective commercial plot-driven fiction, at the border where the thriller touches upon and then mingles with horror. And the plot here is superb: inventive and surprising. I'd have been happy to just read a novel about the real estate agent's life in Florida, because even without the more fantastical element, the book stands up as a model of a particular time and world. I always enjoy the insights into life and identity in Marshall novels, though you also get much more through the escalation of a dilemma and mystery that falls upon an ordinary man. The author has a more sensitive and philosophical approach to the genre, which I particularly enjoy (also c... moreheck out INTRUDERS), without eschewing drama and action in which every thing is at stake. Highly recommended to those who like intelligent thrillers.
review 2: A very disappointing thriller. Nothing much happens in the first 200 pages, then when the pace picks up the story becomes scattered and the plot twists can be seen from the moon. The main guy in this could quite possibly be the most boring character in literary history, a real estate agent whose hobby is self help books and blogs. Apologies to Martha Davis but take the thrill out of thriller and it's er, as in Er, why am i reading this, Er, I want my money back. Don't bother with this unfortunately. less
