Before the Fall por Noah Hawley
Half way through this “thriller”, waiting to be thrilled rather than bored. Weird tense changes, over the top descriptors ... not for me.
Excellent slow build story telling, person by person, piece by piece. Loved it.
Rating; 3* of five
I voted for this book in the 2016 Goodreads Choice awards. It was the best of the lot in terms of other nominees I'd read.
I don't feel compelled to regurgitate the plot. I do feel compelled to say that the TV show LOST was ever-present in my thoughts as I read the book. Hawley's got a line-by-line ease with words, but his plot is so bog-standard that I was unimpressed by the end of the first third of the story.
And this was the best choice. 2016 wasn't a great mystery year for this mystery addict.… (mais)

Wow! Hawley covers so much in this action-packed novel which covers the way our world is now. Filled with believable characters (even the despicable ones). Petkoff does a great job of narration. The portrayal of how the media is willing to do anything for a story and truth is not important is what I see happening in our current times. Highly recommended!
FROM LIBBY: On a foggy summer night, 11 people - 10 privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter - depart Martha's Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the unthinkable happens: The plane plunges into the ocean. The only survivors are the painter Scott Burroughs and a four-year-old boy, who is now the last remaining member of an immensely wealthy and powerful media mogul's family.
Was it by chance that so many influential people perished? Or was something more sinister at work? A storm of media attention brings Scott fame that quickly morphs into notoriety and accusations, and he scrambles to salvage truth from the wreckage. Amid trauma and chaos, the fragile relationship between Scott and the young boy grows and glows at the heart of this stunning novel, raising questions of fate, morality, and the inextricable ties that bind us together.… (mais)
