crabbygirl reviewed Escape Artist by Brad Meltzer
Review of 'Escape Artist' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
the organizer of the Royal City Readers bookclub, when I first met her, said she only read genre books and not literary fiction. I wasn't sure of the difference (and was informed - after hearing a list of my most recent reads - that I only read literary fiction) but now I can completely see the appeal of the genre when done well. this was a real page turner, an exciting story full of interesting characters. most chapters opened like a movie, right in the middle of a juicy plot. and there were some choice tidbits about the aftermath of 9-11 and the routine job of an army mortician that were fascinating. I haven't been this carried away by a frivolous mystery/thriller since The Davinci Code.
