Book Description:
At the age of twelve, Eve Black was the only member of her family to survive an encounter with serial attacker the Nothing Man. Now an adult, she is obsessed with identifying the man who destroyed her life.
Supermarket security guard Jim Doyle has just started reading The Nothing Man — the true-crime memoir Eve has written about her efforts to track down her family’s killer. As he turns each page, his rage grows. Because Jim’s not just interested in reading about the Nothing Man. He is the Nothing Man.
Jim soon begins to realize how dangerously close Eve is getting to the truth. He knows she won’t give up until she finds him. He has no choice but to stop her first …
Thoughts:
How many of you appreciate a visually appealing book? If so (and you’re a thriller lover), this book is amazing! I love a book within a book, but the way this one is physically written makes for a very easy read. I love when a book has a good layout, and this was one of the best I’ve seen in awhile, so I appreciated that.
So how was the book? It was just as wonderful! This starts off with you knowing who The Nothing Man is which eliminates the suspense of finding out who he is, but you read about the crimes he has committed as he is reading the book one of his survivors has written. Eve’s mom, dad and sister were killed and she is ready to find out who The Nothing Man is. Through her novel, she hopes she is able to track down new leads to hold him accountable. The only problem is, he is ready to finish what he started almost 20 years ago. While I would have wanted slightly more suspense (maybe knowing who it was took some of that away for me?) overall, this was a great book. I definitely recommend it!
