Title: Who?
Author: Anthony Prebor

I found this book to be clever, intriguing and immersive. It was a riveting read, especially with the unexpected and jolting finish. The chapters alternate between the past and present, creating a nicely linked and vivid storyline. The reader becomes immersed in the sheer tragedy of the events, both with sadness and hope, as the investigation rises and dips.

Maura, the mother, seems utterly emotionally and spiritually lost despite the calm and level-headed woman we read about.

As I mentioned, we are taken into the twins' lives with chapters headed 'The Past' and 'The Present', which create the picture of what is happening as the terrible day looms closer. During the chapters of 'The Past', we also become aware of the other sad events that make up this book.

The arrangement of the book into these chapters creates a captivating tone. The chapters are of a good length, and the deep and lengthy descriptions of how various characters are feeling do not become laborious, although they very nearly do. The prose is easy to read and thankfully mostly devoid of extreme profanity and sex, although there is some. Young adults and older will enjoy this book.

I like how auras of suspicion are cast around various characters, like in an Agatha Christie novel; it made the ending so much more exciting.

( I wish the police conducted more DNA testing on certain items.)

I read the book in a couple of days and enjoyed it. The editing was perfect. There was nothing that I disliked. Anthony Prebor knows how to write and create a suspenseful atmosphere, and I am glad to read that this book is part of a series. I see this as a movie or TV series and know who I would choose as the cast! It is a light read that would entertain the reader over a weekend. I will award it five out of five stars.

Sounds like a gripping mystery with a well-crafted suspenseful atmosphere. The alternating timelines and shifting suspicions make it even more engaging, and that shocking ending seems like the perfect payoff.

You had me when you mentioned Agatha Christie! The atmosphere and the perfect editing add to what really seems like a well-constructed mystery alternating past and present. Thank you for your great review!

[Mark Lazarus]

This sounds like an engaging and well-crafted thriller with a strong emotional core. The alternating timelines seem like a great way to build suspense and keep the reader invested in the unfolding mystery. I also like the idea of multiple characters being cast under suspicion—it makes for an unpredictable and exciting read. The fact that the book avoids excessive profanity and explicit content while still delivering a gripping story is a plus. While I don’t always gravitate toward thrillers, the way you describe the pacing and immersive atmosphere makes this one sound tempting. I might consider picking it up if I’m in the mood for a suspenseful, emotionally charged read.
