The Hunger Trace by Edward Hogan
Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK (March 2011)
368 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $9.99)
Book Rating: 5 Stars
Content Note: Includes Sexual Situations and Swearing
In the wake of David Bryant's untimely death, Maggie (David's widow), Christopher (David's son from a previous marriage), Louisa (David's former park falconer turned neighbor) and Adam (male prostitute) are all thrown together forming a complicated web of relationships, as the two women and Christopher deal with David's passing and struggle to get on with life. All of the characters in this story are complex and fascinating, in their own deranged way. The story is told in alternating viewpoints, showing that each character has their own set of issues, while trying to deal with those of the other characters. I was absolutely riveted right to the end and only wish the ending hadn't been quite so open ended. I'll just infer that everyone involved received their happy ending, especially Adam. Excellent Read!
