Review of Duplicity
Posted: 17 Sep 2021, 01:33
[Following is a volunteer review of "Duplicity" by Fin C Gray.]
The psychological thriller Duplicity by Fin C Gray highlights how a person can transform into a criminal and how our childhood influences our character. Throughout the book, we see the McIntyre family's life and the events that they go through. It examines the relationship between Daniel and his father, Tom. While he is growing up, Daniel experiences harsh experiences, and as a teen, he becomes addicted to alcohol and drugs. In the midst of his struggles, he meets Waqar, who introduces him to terrorism.
Throughout this book, readers will encounter characters with complex personalities that they can relate to at times and dislike at others. In Tom's case, he is a father and he is married to Allison, but he cheats on her with men, but when she is diagnosed with cancer, he becomes a better husband and father. Also, Daniel, whose character starts as the kind kid who looks after his parents and sister, ends up being the antagonist of the story.
There was good coverage of important subjects like sexual abuse, terrorism, homosexuality, dealing with a cancer patient, and dealing with alcoholism and drug addiction. In addition, the author managed to seamlessly go back and forth between past and present, which was great for pulling readers in. It is well edited, and there are only a couple of grammatical errors.
It seems that the author was referring to terrorism and connecting it with certain religious practices and races, which could potentially cause some sensitivity among their community. Furthermore, this book contains descriptions of various horrific experiences, including child molestation, terrorism, as well as disturbing descriptions of sex and violence.
My rating for this book is 3 out of 4. This story highlighted what is important for our children to be protected and taught us that there is no such thing as being born evil, but rather the hardships they endured in the real world lead them to become cruel.
This book is not intended for children, nor is it suitable for those who are sensitive to issues like sexual abuse and terrorism. Nonetheless, the book is recommended for readers who are interested in crime mysteries. Specifically, I would recommend this book to parents since in the book when Daniel had harsh experiences such as: sexual abuse, his parents neglected to notice that, which negatively affected him for his entire life. There is no doubt that this book will make parents think about how to give their children more attention and care.
