Review
AMAZON has 5 stars for all reviews. This one posted soon after publication
Hook Island is Mathieson’s best novel so far! And I’ve enjoyed all of them! I like that he’s now into Young Adult mysteries. And his teenaged sleuth, Becky Bing, is so convincing with the edgy, bright, “take no prisoners” attitude. She’s a great role model for each and every young (and older) women.
It was fascinating how the author wove into the story what happens to the teens in school and out of classroom to find clues to the heinous crimes.
The Hook Island storyline had me all along thinking who the culprit was right up until the very end. And I was surprised! The suspense was riveting!
I can’t wait for the next “Becky Bing” sequel to come out soon!
