Resumen del Editor

An elegant thriller in the vein of Night Film and Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter, this tautly crafted novel is about stories: the ones we tell, the ones we keep hidden, and the ones that we'll do anything to ensure they stay buried.

When literary agent Peter Katz receives a partial book submission entitled The Book of Mirrors, he is intrigued by its promise and original voice. The author, Richard Flynn, has written a memoir about his time as an English student at Princeton in the late 1980s, documenting his relationship with the protégée of the famous Professor Joseph Wieder. One night just before Christmas 1987, Wieder was brutally murdered in his home. The case was never solved. Now, 25 years later, Katz suspects that Richard Flynn is either using his book to confess to the murder or to finally reveal who committed the violent crime.

But the manuscript ends abruptly - and its author is dying in the hospital with the missing pages nowhere to be found. Hell-bent on getting to the bottom of the story, Katz hires investigative journalist John Keller to research the murder and reconstruct the events for a true crime version of the memoir. Keller tracks down several of the mysterious key players, including retired police detective Roy Freeman, one of the original investigators assigned to the murder case, but he has just been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. Inspired by John Keller's investigation, he decides to try and solve the case once and for all, before he starts losing control of his mind. A trip to the Potosi Correctional Centre in Missouri, several interviews, and some ingenious police work finally lead him to a truth that has been buried for over two decades...or has it?

Stylishly plotted, elegantly written, and packed with thrilling suspense until the final moments, The Book of Mirrors is a book within a book like you've never encountered before.

Cliché? Yes, wholly.

Did I want a definitive ending? Of course. Was I dissatisfied with the ending? Not really. Did it take too long to get there? Yes. Definitely. But the story held all the right elements to make me listen until the end.

A good listen, but disappointing ending

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The ending could have had a twist. Some plot points seemed to hang.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Disappointing ending. I think the author got tired of writing.

Did the narrators do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Narrator was adequate and easy to listen to.

Do you think The Book of Mirrors needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Doesn't need a follow up because the story ended without any build up to another "chapter".

Any additional comments?

I liked the premise of a story within a story. It was an ambitious goal! I appreciated the minimal foul language very much. The story was compelling up until the last chapters. But when I was expecting a twist, it just ended. Most disappointing.

Way too much weak material to get to the ending.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No. The ending was good but all the stuff to get there was never ending

Wow! Awesome book.

Didn't want this book to end. Totally lost track of time listening to the story. Just when I thought I had it figured out, it threw me another curve ball.

Could not stop listening!

This story grabbed me from the beginning and held me until the last words spoken. Great story, well developed characters and enough twists and turns to make sure you don’t want to stop listening!

Fairly compelling

This is a good whodunit. I was certainly carried along, wanted to know what would happen. However, it's hard to feel connected to or care about the characters, who are all somewhat dry. The concepts were good, but as other reviewers tend to indicate, not fully developed. The ending lacks a true punch to it.

On the whole, an enjoyable listen.

Enthralling story, has you hooked!

Narration isn’t the best, but the story is so unique and interesting you can get past it.

Engaging

After trying a couple clunkers I really needed something to keep my attention and give me a sense of spending time and credits for value. This book was a gamble, just released and no reviews yet. I finished it in one day. Very satisfying.
