What do You think about Light Of Day (2005)?
It was meh, ok. I had to speed-read some chapters because they were just so long and over the top. I'll admit, I skipped to the end and back-tracked. I don't usually do this but I was just so frustrated with the endless, heartbreaking morose and mourning, not to mention the repetitiveness. I understand that's the author's special technique but I found it pointless and annoying. Even though it had chapters that went on and on and on with no point, I was left with questions and a lot of holes. The

I read alot of mysteries like Robert Crais, Stephen White, Walter Satherwaite, Thomas Perry, Anne Perry (notice how I worked all of these in?) but I never put them on Goodreads. This book however, could be considered a mystery in a way, but a mystery with ethical challenges. Not that you don't find ethical challenges in the more formulaic mysteries, but they are such cream puffs, such bon bons. This one is about a single father, a professor, who has more or less sacrificed his life (snore, formulaic) to raise his son. But the novel is not formulaic. Well, maybe it is, but with more girth. When an unthinkable thing happens to his beloved son, the professor, Jack, can't stop trying to work it out. Eventually, he does. What would any of us do?
