 ... understand. It's a good read. Again Marshall has done a very good job of introducing the characters and letting the reader get to know them. He portrays the emotion of all the characters very well and really gets you pulled in to the story so you feel personally involved. There are some bits that do make you laugh, a few comical remarks which make the book a bit more fun to read too. I wasn't as keen on this book as I was with Intruders. Although the writing style is very similar, I found this book more mind boggling and...more

I picked this book up in Somerset when I was on holiday for £3 which I thought was a bargain. It's the second Michael Marshall book I've read, I previously read The intruders. Outline of the story: John Henderson's world is totally changed one day when his oldest son, Scott, dies abruptly on the jetty outside his house. With no explanation to his sons death, his marriage breaks up and he moves to Oregon to start afresh. All goes well until he gets an unexpected phone call from someone claiming to know what happened to his boy. Reluctantly, he returns to Black Ridge, where his son died, to try and get to the bottom of what happened. Little does he know, ...  Read the complete review

I fancied something a bit more meaty for this years holiday, so took along Bad Things by Michael Marshall. The background to the story is the sudden and unexplained death of 4 year old Scott Henderson. Three years on, we meet his father John who is working as a waiter, when he receives an email claiming to know what happened to his son. Would you delete it as rubbish? Or would the curiosity and pain take over? John opts to find out if this is random rubbish, or something else. The story takes us along for the ride as John returns to Black Ridge, near where he lived and his son died. The writing is fast paced and ...  Read the complete review

What does the budding Dooyoo book reviewer do when everything he picks up to read turns out to be less than thrilling and something of a disappointment? (Don't even bother with Lee Weeks' The Trophy Taker- it was so mind-numbing I couldn't even be bothered to suggest it as a product for review!!) Well, he turns to an author that he has read and enjoyed in the past thats what. Especially when they have new books out that you have not even read yet.... Michael Marshall is an author best known for his sci-fi novels (One Of Us, Spares and Only Forward) written under his full name of Michael Marshall Smith and for the Straw Men novels which took an original and ...  Read the complete review
