2022 #39 – Or Else: A Thriller

By Joe Hart

A small town writer of thrillers returns home to care for his father, after his divorce. He quickly becomes entangled with an old crush, and finds the little loop he grew up on is full of dark secrets….

Perfectly serviceable thriller that feels noirish. It was likeable, but I kept waiting for it to find another gear or break out of the conventions – I mean it even has an unnamed thug who loves our protagonists books and softens his “messages” from his bosses.

An Amazon Kindle First Reads choice.
