Book Review - Primed For Vengeance by Gill D. Anderson

Primed For Vengeance by Gill D. Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a copy of this book from Voracious Readers Only in exchange for an honest review.

"Primed For Vengeance" by Gill D. Anderson is a solid crime thriller set in Australia that was a fantastic, almost too short, read.

It delves into issues of what makes a person the way they are, whether it's inherent or shaped by circumstances, and gives equal weight to the story and perspective of Butch, a maladjusted, perhaps psychotic young man, as it does to Sarah, a former worker at the group home in which he lived.

The book is well written and flows quite well, despite bouncing between multiple perspectives (aside from the two protagonists, we are also witness to the inner thoughts of a couple of the police officers involved, a former neighbour of Butch, and a former co-worker of Sarah.

My one gripe is that it seemed to end abruptly, but as I've never been involved in anything like the climactic situation, it could be entirely realistic for all I know. Still, it left me wanting more ... which I guess for an author is a good thing!

Eight orange cardigans out of ten.
