Disadvantages: Can Be A Little Confusing At Times, As There Is So much Going On
A gripping and sinister novel, where nothing is what it seems. This is not for the faint hearted however, it is a chilling thriller with a mystical and spiritual undertone.
The story is centered around the main character Nicholas Dismas (dis). Dis is a private investigator who generally deals with cheating partners, tax dodgers etc. However everything changes when a women hires Dis to track down her long lost son who she has not seen since the day he was born. The twist is that she was told that her baby had died and he was quickly whisked away after birth, however she has a strong desire (from the help of a clarevoyant) that her son is still alive.
This particular investigation leads Dis to a lot of dead ends, but there is something about this case that he is drawn to, he is determined to get to the bottom of it.
Dis eventually finds himself on the right track, which leads him to a very expensive, luxurious nursing home for the elderly which is situated in the middle of nowhere. However it is not what it seems and Dis slowly and gruesomely discovers the deep, dark secret of the others.
There are a lot of twist and turns, and a lot of dark and disturbing events that happen throughout the book that are extraordinary and out of this world, but could almost be true.
If you like thrillers with a eerie twist then this is perfect for you, I would highly recomened this book.
Summary: Thrilling, Chilling & Gripping
