Crosscurrents: Would you kill your brother to save yourself? by Tom BierdzMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I received an ARC of this book. What follows is an honest review.
Cross currents is an enjoyable thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat through the book. This is the forth book by the author that I have read and have enjoyed each one of them.
Two brothers separated at a young age because of the mistakes of an abusive father. One goes on to become a crusading senator. The other gets amensia and becomes hit man for hire. As we wander through the life that each one has, and the people around them who love and support them, we see how intertwined their lives really are.
The big problem is that the men they have grown up to be are on a colision course when the crusading senator had become the target of the hitman when a contract is taken out on him. A knock on the head heals the amnesia, but is it to late.
Mr. Bierdz has written well developed characters. There are no throw aways here. Even the minor charachters are given something to flesh them out. All of the people stay true to their identies. Even when the times are frighing to them, they stay true to themselves.
I would recommend this to older teens and above. Obviously because when you have a hit man you have violence. There is also a degree of sexual activity. For the most part it is not written in heavy detail, but it is scattered throughout the book. If a movie I would say it would get an R rating. Let that be your guide if you would read it or not. I have enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good thriller.
