I was first introduced to M.J. Arlidge via his third book, The Doll’s House and my subsequent review of that book. As intriguing as that book was, I knew I had to go back and read the first two installments of the Helen Grace series. Eeny Meeny is the first book in the series and I am excited to share my thoughts in this book review.
Eeny Meeny by M.J. Arlidge
Series: A Helen Grace Thriller (Book 1)
Publisher: NAL; Reprint edition (June 2, 2015)
ISBN-13: 978-0451475497
Two people are abducted, imprisoned, and left with a gun. As hunger and thirst set in, only one walks away alive.
It’s a game more twisted than any Detective Helen Grace has ever seen. If she hadn’t spoken with the shattered survivors herself, she almost wouldn’t believe them.
Helen is familiar with the dark sides of human nature, including her own, but this case—with its seemingly random victims—has her baffled. But as more people go missing, nothing will be more terrifying than when it all starts making sense..
My Thoughts on Eeny Meeny by M.J. Arlidge
If you are looking for a good crime suspense thriller, you have to check out this book! Loads of twists and turns that will keep your heart rate up!
As I mentioned, I read one other book by this author so far. I love the way that he sets up the chapters. It not only makes for quick easy reading, but it also makes for heightened anticipation of what is coming next.
The author has crafted an amazing read full of crime filled spree’s that take your breath away. Not only are the police detectives on the hunt, chasing down the perp, but you get much insight into the police operations and meet a lot of the force too. You will also see them in future books too.
This book, Eeny Meeny, is a fast paced novel that will leave you shaking your head at the depravity of the crimes and the shocking ending that is so totally not expected at all. This story is one that will stay with you long after you close the cover.
If you love crime novels with plenty of heart pounding moments, this is a great choice to read!
