Four-star review of Pike Island: A Thriller by Tony Wirt
Well-written story, probably worth four-and-a-half stars, with
a couple of unexpected twists and turns told partly in the present and partly
as a kind of flashback. Krista Walsh, the assistant to a newly elected
congressman, must investigate threats he receives in the mail. I was with her
at every place she visited and with one of the congressman’s friends through
the events of twenty years earlier. Suspense was maintained throughout the
story and tension increased. The ambition of politicians and the things they’ll
do is reflected here but so are a number other real-life emotions.
