Descent by Gary V Brill is a fast-paced,
captivating crime thriller that is infused with realism. Brill excels at
creating characters that are elaborate and lovable. Steve is an upright,
no-nonsense man who is hemmed in from all sides, pursued for something he has
no idea about. He has a powerful ally, Susan, a woman whose devotion is
impeccable and who displays an unusual intelligence. The characters are
intriguing and Steve is one that readers will love to follow. The narrative
combines the first-person-narrative and the third-person-narrative voices to
create clarity in points of view. Gary V
Brill is a great storyteller who succeeds in creating drama in the narrative
while offering scenes that are real and immersive. Characters like Doug Mitchell are enigmatic
and the author uses such characters to create suspense, making readers wonder
what they are up to. The writing is crisp and punctuated with engaging
dialogues that augment the drama and the pace. Brill has created a tenacious,
smart-mouthed, and sophisticated protagonist that makes for a wonderful company
and a tale that is delightful to read.
