Bloodline Run by
Chet Baker is a briskly paced, engaging tale for readers who enjoy finely
written thrillers that brim with realism. Baker's writing features mature
themes, at times disturbing ones. The protagonist is a fully drawn character
whose inner world is filled with murkiness; he is unpredictable and this
unpredictability in his character reflects on the gripping plot. The reader is
hardly sure of what Peter would do next. This novel is sharp, smart, and
potent, and Baker knows how to toil with the emotions of readers. He builds on
the excitement of newfound love then plunges readers down the dark path of
loss. Bloodline Run is a cleverly plotted novel with gorgeous prose and
sparkling dialogues.
