Door 4: Guy Fawkes Night (Book Task)

Seconds Away - Harlan Coben


Book: Read a book set in the UK, a political thriller, a book involving any monarchy or revolution, a book about arson or related to fires and burning, a book whose plot involves costumes / fancy dress, or that has masks on the cover, or that is self-published.

 

Reading this with the fire on the cover. 

 

It is about a teenager Mickey and his investigation on happening of his father who died, and got involved in an organization like children underground. 

 

There is a bat lady and there is a neighborhood haunting house. The lady said his father is not dead. Wanting it to be true so much, Mickey want to seek his uncle's help to find out. 

 

IN the meantime, Rachel was shot. 

 

He with his side kick Ema and Spoon, would try to find out what's happened to Rachel and who killed her mom. 

 

The plot is not great, but the story stay good in a teenage spying on adult thing. There is masks involved as well as they had worn mask from the Lion King. 

 

Mickey didn't like his uncle as he thought he should have come and rescue his parents and him when their life started to fall apart. But that's not right. His mother was an addict, that's got nothing to do with his uncle. Anyway, it is more of a plot of make a much more powerful ally staying away from the investigation. 

 

Myron is the sport agent detective that I like so much.

 

Overall, a good read. There is a third book to the series. 

 

4.5 stars read.
