Book Reviews of The Dark Tide
Book Review: A superb thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dark Tide is my first Andrew Gross book. I downloaded it onto my Kindle after reading a rave review about an upcoming Gross novel that piqued my interest.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Mr. Gross' book was impossible to put down. Well written, detailed characterizations and protagonists to root for plus a love story, non-stop action and many plot twists to keep you turning pages.
As an author myself, I look for reasons to put a book down, in other words, I am a critical reviewer, but I thoroughly enjoyed The Dark Tide.
The plot:
Charles and Karen Friedman live a comfortable upscale live in Greenwich, Connecticut. They've been married nearly twenty years, have two teenage children, a second house in Vermont and an envious lifestyle. Charles ("Charlie") appears to be a successful investment banker, a devoted dad and husband, and well thought of by his associates and neighbors. However, as the story opens, we learn Charlie has made some risky gambles and faces tough decisions about his business, unbeknownst to his wife and family.
Then tragedy strikes and Charlie's commuter train is bombed at Grand Central Station. Karen must learn to live without her husband. She manages for a year, and then little things begin to happen. The Greenwich detective who helped her in the early awful days after Charlie's death discovers some discrepancies in some details that link Charlie to another homicide on the day he died. As Karen and Detective Ty Hauck begin to piece things together, another plot twist reveals that Karen's husband may still be alive.
As bits of information pile up, Hauck is convinced the hit and run death he investigated ties into Charlie somehow and that a much more sinister operation is being carried out. Meanwhile, Ty and Karen discover a mutual attraction, and Ty offers to help Karen find her husband.
To say more would spoil the excellent plot, so I'll simply state that the action is fast-paced and compelling, and not at all predictable.
Gross' story deserves two thumbs way, way up.
Summary of The Dark Tide
On the morning Karen Friedman learns that her husband, a hedge fund manager, has been tragically killed, Detective Ty Hauck begins his investigation of another man's death in a suspicious hit-and-run in Karen's hometown.
The two seemingly unrelated tragedies are about to plunge a beautiful widow and a determined investigator into a maelstrom of murder, vast sums of missing money, and international conspiracy.
