Title: Billy Bones
Series: Billy Bones - 1st book
Author: Christopher Lincoln
Read Before: no
My Comments: The novel began on a low point, being bland and a lot of concepts to take in. These ideas involve a whole world in the Afterlife and the finer points of ‘secret keeper’. It’s actually quite interesting, and the idea of a whole thriving world after you’ve passed on is a good one. The story gets going after the halfway point, it presents a mystery (which so much foreshadowing has happened, you, as the reader, have solved it already) that fits in perfectly, like a jigsaw puzzle. It’s exciting as you see the results unravel and it feels elegant. There is a happy ending but it’s somewhat ruined by the villain’s last laugh, hinting at a sequel where he’ll be back.
Rating: 6/10
