"My review" by Breakaway R. - 24 September 2019

A dark, depressing and deadly thriller! “The Boy’’ is the second in the series of married Detectives Nick Fourcade and Annie Broussard. Both are dedicated in their respective job roles, and they certainly have enough to deal with in this dark, depressing, and deadly thriller! There are so many simultaneous cases for Nick and Annie to solve, starting with the horrendous murder of a seven-year-old boy. Who would commit such a heinous crime? Does his mother have her hidden secrets? Nick has to deal with an extremely difficult boss, Kelvin Dutrow, both of whom detest each other. Suffice it to say there are numerous confrontations with so many of the characters. The reason I felt that “The Boy” should have three-stars, was because the plot dragged on for quite a while, which was a shame because it was very nearly a four stars award. If only the plot were tighter. Also I think that people in the USA would have more in common with the area, set in the Deep South. Amazingly it seems that there is so much crime in sleepy Bayou Breaux, Louisiana! Once the plot picked up, I enjoyed the twists and turns, leading to an unexpected conclusion. Galadriel.
