A REVIEW OF NIGHT SINS by TAMI HOAG

The book is about a young boy (Josh Kirkwood) who was kidnapped after school because his mother Dr. Garrison Hannah who was supposed to pick him up was delayed in the hospital and his father Paul Kirkwood was more concerned about sleeping with his mistress in her matrimonial home while her husband joined a bandwagon of mentally unstable people that think they are superior to the rest of us to kidnap Paul and Hannah’s son Josh.

The author is exceptional! The book started on a high note and maintained that tempo till the end. As the chapters progressed, we climaxed further.

Although the characters at some point became too much then again, the story is about a community and I’m sure it would take more than five characters to build one. So the many characters were unavoidable.

I wished the three Amigos were active after the first chapter where they were introduced in the book. They were three young boys and It would have been great to see how Josh’s disappearance affected Brian and Matt.

The appearance of Megan O’ Malley the BCA cop was a sharp twist and gave a more interesting edge to the book. From the beginning, it was already obvious that she would kick off a romantic relationship with the Chief of Police Mitch, but I expected she’d hold onto her ‘no-dating cops’ rule but she didn’t, sadly. She allowed her feminine sensitivities to take over her mind.

Megan was depicted as a smarter cop. Because, for her to have risen to the rank she currently held, she must have done good cop-work. So I expected a lot of smart and thrilling approaches to solving the crime or at least, coming reasonably close to solving it.

The speed with which Mitch and Megan tried to solve the case was too slow and that watered down the thrill of crime-solving in the book. The crime-solving aspect was a drag but the sarcasm, comedy, and mystery were topnotch! The suspense had me in a chokehold. lol

Especially how the whereabouts of Josh couldn’t be deciphered and how he was dropped at the door without any trace.

The book is real, the characters found themselves as the chapters progressed and as a reader, I felt like I was discovering new things.

The sentences connected in a lovely way which made reading easy and enjoyable.

Read the book, you’ll love it.
