5* Review of Dishonoured by Books, Teacup n Reviews

Overall, Dishonoured was fast paced, addictive, thrilling psychological thriller with mind-blowing suspense and interesting characters.

Characters were realistic, flawed and unreliable. I wasn’t sure who to trust, most of them were suspect, some I found believable, some were friendly who helped Dan in solving mystery and getting his life back, while some surprised me and changed my view entirely in climax.

Dan was fantastic character. Even with all money he had, he helped homeless soldier by giving breakfast almost every day, he seemed good family person. He still hadn’t gotten over the death of his parents and first wife. Lid over emotions were firmly closed under workaholic nature. What happened to him on train was horrible, frightening. It let out all those buried emotions. It was so raw and heart touching to read his story, seeing what that one incident was doing to him, how his life fell apart and how hopeless his situation was. Never ever I felt he deserved what happened. What I liked about him was, even with not having control over life, he had control over his emotions, had logic and sense of thinking of thinking through situation and not letting bullies control him. He was meek and timid by nature but unfairness brought out anger, will and determination to get back his life, wife and children. It was amazing to see the way he tried to solve the mystery and where it led him.

I don’t want say much about secondary characters. It will be more fun to read about them by yourself and have your own opinion. But Anomaly and Kev deserves a mention as I liked them most in entire book. They were brilliant and made a good team. They were really nice to help Dan, of course money was involved, yet it’s great to put trust in someone whose charge was frightening and there was no way to prove it and even with chance of not getting anything in return at the end.

Suspense was mind-blowing. I couldn’t see twists and turns coming until the hint were given and even with them, I failed at being right as there were so many red herrings leading me astray. I couldn’t have guessed who was the mastermind and when it was revealed in climax, it was shocking and then came jaw dropping moment that changed everything. End was perfectly satisfying.
