I'm on the last few pages. I found it a good story, but not great. It will likely appeal to younger folks more than people my age, since the main characters are in their twenties.
I can definitely see that. There are a lot of pop culture references in the dialogue, most of which worked for me.
This is selfish of me, but wish there were more thrillers written for the twenty-/thirtysomething crowd. As it is, thrillers are mostly written by and aimed at a much older demographic. Nothing wrong with that, obviously. One of the coolest books I've ever read is Donald Westlake's
Ax, and Westlake must have been in his sixties when he wrote that novel. And of course Elmore Leonard has always been one of the hippest writers in the business.
But I do feel at times as if I'm being left out when I peruse the mystery shelves, and this is one of the reasons I wrote my novel. I wanted to give readers like me something different.
