Review of Begur, Holiday of a Lifetime
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Begur, Holiday of a Lifetime" by Edward McQueen Rose.]
Begur, Holiday of a Lifetime is a compelling narrative that follows the life of Richard, who is in the final stages of cancer and is facing his mortality. Richard decides to stop taking the medication with just six months to a year to live. Instead, he spends his final days doing the things he loves.
Richard and his wife Katie travel to Begur, Spain with friends to fulfill Richard's final desires. Chrissie, a friend, lends them a house. Richard develops an interest in the Begur police department's ongoing murder investigation while he is there. In the end, his friends get involved as the case gets trickier and they make a connection between it and Princess Diana's accident.
Edward McQueen Rose, the novelist, has drawn attention to the impact cancer has on friends and family. The days that Richard still has are difficult for him, his wife, and his friends. While Katie tries to maintain a straight face, she is frightened and concerned about how she will live without Richard, her rock. When Richard's friends learn that his cancer has returned, they are equally devastated. This is how the real world is represented. Those closest to cancer patients also have a part of them dying with the patient.
The author's lengthy development of the backstory before the buddies became involved in the murder inquiry, on the other hand, did not sit well with me. Richard was not completely immersed in the situation until approximately halfway through the book. After reading the blurb, I was wondering when the most anticipated section would appear. Because the rest of the plot is plain, there is nothing to keep the reader interested and the book becomes tiresome to read as a result of the slow progression.
Begur, Holiday of a Lifetime deserves a rating of four out of five stars. The book's blurb made it seem like it was mostly about a murder investigation, but as the reader starts reading, the book's slow story progression leaves them underwhelmed. As a result, this affected the rating. However, I did not discover any spelling errors in the book, leading me to believe that it has been edited by a professional.
Readers who enjoy themes like crime and adventure will enjoy the novel.
