The Ruinous Sweep
The Ruinous Sweep | Tim Wynne-Jones
4 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
A rainy night. An empty highway. And no memory. From award-winning author Tim Wynne-Jones comes a riveting murder mystery that will keep readers enthralled until the last page. On the night Donovan Turner is thrown out of a car on a highway in the middle of nowhere, he can barely remember his own name, let alone the past twenty-four hours. Where is he? Where is his girlfriend, Bee? In an attempt to flag down the next passing car, he startles the driver, causing a fatal accident. With sirens in the distance and the lingering feeling that he’s running from something — or someone — Donovan grabs the dead driver’s briefcase and flees. Meanwhile, Bee is fighting for Dono’s life every bit as much as he is. But when the police show up and hint that he is the prime suspect in a murder, Bee is determined to put together the pieces of what happened and clear his name. With echoes of Dante’s Divine Comedy, this harrowing journey through hell and back is a page-turning tale of guilt, retribution, love, and redemption.

Mehso-so

Engaging & interesting, this book is a good mystery that can be frustrating to read. There are parts of it that make no sense to me & parts I was unable to connect to the main story. It also jumps from "reality" and life after death (?) and back. So as not to spoil it, I'll just say an event in the book happens that is as shocking as it is unclear that it even happened, I had to flip back pages to try & make sense of it & be sure it happened.
