This one took some patience on my part. It's not fast paced, I found myself keeping track of many characters and various anecdotes about each of them, there is a slight hint of the supernatural, and I wasn't convinced that all the issues happening in the story could really be resolved by the end. But it was well written, dark, and eerily mesmerizing. I was so pleasantly surprised by what transpired in the last page and a half that it really won me over. I then skimmed through several parts of the book again and had a better understanding of the story as a whole. Some books I really need to read through a second time to see things more clearly - this was one of them. Although so much of the tale seemed to have its vague moments as I was reading it, things do get resolved and somehow connected by the end. The final two pages were utterly satisfying. (

Loved it. A wonderful, bizarre mystery. (

An intelligent mystery thriller about the disappearance of a woman and a reporter's quest for solving this baffling mystery. This novel slowly builds up the suspense and never let you go. Cook's powerful writing has such a mesmerizing power that you can only marvel at the way how words are string together and the various permutations and combinations he throws about the direction in which the story is taken forward.

Every Thomas H. Cook novel is a subtle mind game, but The Fate of Katherine Carr is positively haunting.
