The 11:05 Murders written by Brian O'Hare takes you on a journey of suspense and drama. This book is not just about murder and mystery but allows the reader to take a look into the everyday lives of its characters. The book contains everything from mystery, suspense and drama, to romance, friendships and teamwork. Add a little pinch of humour here and there and you will soon find yourself being in love by the author's imagination and use of words.
The 11:05 Murders was written in such a way that it keeps the reader in suspense regarding who the murderer is up until the last chapter. It adds to the suspense and entertainment of wanting to finish the book and leaves you dissapointed and wanting more from Sergeant Steward as you read the last page.
This book is definately one of the best I have ever read. It has all the elements needed to make a perfect read. The author describes each setting in great detail making you feel as if you were standing in the same room as the characters. The spelling, grammar and punctuation can not be faulted anywhere. Each end to a chapter litterally has you feeling like a curtain is being closed so a new day can start.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The author has an amazing writing style, he knows exactly how to keep the reader captivated and engaged. Not dissapointing the reader in a single chapter. The characters come to live with the way they are described in so much detail and the reader is able to live into this novel without any effort.
