I'm careful not to spoil any important moments (spoiler-free review).
Hello everyone, I'm really into the books by Frank Tallis, and with each book I read, I find myself enjoying his writing more and more. It's hard to say which one is my favorite so far, since I've only read a few of his books. Dream Child is my third book by this author, and I absolutely loved it. It's packed with intrigue and mystery, making it really hard to put down. You'll want to devour the pages to unravel the puzzles and codes hidden within!
As a huge fan of Frank Tallis's work, I was excited to dive into Dream Child, and I'm thrilled to say that it exceeded my expectations in every way. The author's unique writing style, which blends elements of mystery, suspense, and psychological thriller, had me hooked from the very beginning.
The story follows Abigail, a criminologist living in France, who is struggling with cataplexy and narcolepsy. Despite her health issues, she's an exceptional expert in her field and has gained a reputation in law enforcement. When a child abductor is on the loose, creating eerie dolls resembling children, dressing them in kid's clothes, and splattering them with blood, Abigail teams up with her colleagues to crack the case.
What I loved most about this book is the complexity of the plot. The author does a great job of weaving together different events and plot lines, keeping me on my toes and guessing until the very end. The main character, Abigail, is a great protagonist, and I loved following her journey as she navigates the mystery and her own personal struggles.
The author's idea for the children and what Freddy did to them is both original and terrifying, and I think it would make for a great Netflix series. One of the things that really added to the tension was the main character's own mental health struggles. I couldn't always tell what was real and what was just a product of her imagination, which made for a really compelling and suspenseful read.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery with complex characters and plot twists. It's a wild ride, and I'm so glad I got to experience it. As I was reading, I found myself thinking about the value for money, and I have to say, this book is well worth the investment. The author's writing is engaging, and the story is both original and captivating.
I have to say, this book completely blew me away. At first, it's super confusing, but the intrigue keeps you hooked until the very end. I loved the motivation behind Freddie's character too. The idea itself is genius, the characters are well-developed and interesting!
I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch thriller. I'd give it a solid 5 out of 5 - in my opinion, there's nothing majorly wrong with it. The author's got some serious imagination going on. This isn't your run-of-the-mill, boring thriller; it's a genuinely great book to spice up your weekends! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and there wasn't a single moment that made me feel uncomfortable or disgusted. The tension builds up beautifully with each page turn.
So, if you're a fan of mystery, suspense, and psychological thrillers, do yourself a favor and pick up Dream Child. You won't regret it!
Thanks for reading! Enjoy the rest of your book-filled weekend!
