A review by jacqueshol
Afraid by Jack Kilborn

5.0

It was my first Jack Kilborn story, and I enjoyed it. It is brutal and not for the squeamish. The torture scenes are pretty graphic, so be forewarned - I found myself squirming at times. The book starts out at a great pace but slows down a bit as the story continues. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, as the action in some novels can be too much. It offers a solid storyline. Sure, the end could have offered better closure, especially the consequences that followed these terrible events, but it does not detract from an enjoyable read.

I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator, Phil Gigante, is the best I have heard. He was brilliant, and his characterisation of Bernie superb. I will certainly read more books narrated by him.
