If you want to be held hostage until the last page, get this twisty and clever thriller. It starts at a sprint and keeps relentlessly high tension until the shocking conclusion. It is the story of Charles Bliss, a teacher of an elite boarding school who was accused of engaging in a romantic relationship with Hayley Goodloe a student who happens to be the daughter of a state senator, granddaughter of an ex-governor and heiress to a massive fortune. When Hayley disappears under suspicious circumstances all evidence points to Charles….in order to clear his name Charles needed to find her……
The presentation is quite original : the book is said with chapters alternating between Charles, excerpts from Hayley’s journal and 10 “midlogues” where the author clarifies what he wrote. We have sharp dialogue, vigorous pacing and a fresh angle on a well-known subject. This story is an unexpected treasure giving us complex characters, an excellent plotting, emotional deepness and much more...
Is Charles Bliss a villain or a victim? To find out is the fun here. I for one had a terrific time finding out. There are so many unpredictable twists and shocking surprises that this story grabbed my complete attention…. excellent read.
Well-said and well-done. “The Boundaries We Cross” gets high marks from me…simply loved it.
