This is an
interesting storyline, a good debut novel that needed some fine tuning.
Storyline taken
from Goodreads:
When Tyler, a Wall Street fund manager, comes to Dallas
to attend his father's birthday party finds his father murdered and a family
member is the prime suspect, a series of murders and an intriguing story
follows as Tyler goes on a crusade to find the killer as he loses his job,
girlfriend and comes close to kissing his own death.
My take:
With a
little bit of editing to eliminate the errors such as typos, fragmented
sentences, missing words and repeated ones the flow of the saga would have been
better, mistakes are always distracting for a reader. This aside the novel has
good qualities. “Contrived” is a captivating read, a good storyline that
grabbed interest from the start and can sustained it to the last page, I admit energetically tapping my reader for the next
page. IMO, the characters were correctly portrayed to represent who they were,
although I felt no empathy for any of them and dislike most of themJ. I wouldn’t say it is dialogue
driven but there are a lot of voices to keep track of. In all we have a great
beginning and I would say Mr. Deb has definitely a talent with words, good job.
