Short
Summary of the book:
What really happened when Paul died? Was it a
freak hit-and-run as everyone thought? Or was there more behind this tragic
event? Paul leaves behind a mother, wife and unborn child.
Then, many years later a young American and
his wife meet Paul’s friend on a coast-to-coast walk. Suddenly, Jake’s
childhood dreams seem more real than before?
Do you believe in reincarnation?
What
I liked about the book:
The book was action-packed and difficult to
put down.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
The first few chapters were a little confusing
but their relevance became more apparent in subsequent chapters.
My
favourite bits in the book:
How Jonty is cynical about Jake’s motives and
later trusts him implicitly.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
There weren’t any.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
The title of the book suggests this book is
part of a series but I’m not aware of any other books in the series.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
It is difficult to find a book to compare
this one with. It has a mixture of action, detective, and the paranormal.
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children |

If
you like detective stories, this book may

I’m
certainly looking forward to reading more by this author.
