Two Evils by P.J. Tracy
2.0
I was really looking forward to reading this because I really like all the other P.J. Tracy books - their first, Want To Play? is one of my favourite books of all time. While I think some of their plots are a little hit and miss, they have excellent dialogue and the relationships between the characters are great - apart from I felt the John/Grace relationship was far too mysterious.
I didn't enjoy this book so much because I felt like there was no tension in it, despite the heavy subject matter of terrorism. I felt the inclusion of the Native American community was unnecessary, I didn't understand why they were brought in at all, and I thought the final showdown was lackluster. I just felt confused by everything that had happened, because I felt there was no reason behind it all. Also, I personally find the books which include terrorism less interesting than a stereotypical murder plot - for example, James Patterson's earlier books I thought were great but then all his books would end in bomb threats or terrorist groups and it was repetitive and dull. I was a bit disappointed that P.J. Tracy went down this path.
While I didn't like this book very much, I would definately recommend any of the other P.J. Tracy books.
