I really do enjoy thrillers in a guilty pleasure kind of way, but I can’t read too many of them in a row as I get sick of them quite easily.It takes a little while before the multiple threads in the narrative begin to connect, so please persevere because this a story you do not want to miss. There are no fancy frills or poetic moments here (except maybe for poetic justice, if that counts) – and yet my thoughts, feelings, and imagination were all held captive until the very end. SNAP is a multi-layered, cleverly plotted crime novel with a varied group of unusual and unpredictable character types.

The courageous and brave Jack holds his family together against all the odds, driven by a fury and determination to see justice for his beloved mother. When she doesn’t, 11-year-old Jack picks up the baby, Merry, and marshals his little sister Joy along the hard shoulder.
