Review: The Short Drop

The Short Drop by Matthew FitzSimmons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

YESSSSS! This book is good. Better than good, it's great.

It's been a while since I read such a good thriller. So good that I read it in less than 48 hours. And what's more, this is the first book by Matthew FitzSimmons. The first in a series, which is a very good thing!
The plot matches actual times, with the US candidates seeking their nomination to the presidency, and it makes the book even more interesting.

Suzanne Lombard, daughter of the US Vice President disappeared 10 years ago. Gibson Vaughn, her childhood friend is searching for her as new evidence has turned up.

Gibson Vaughn is a very interesting and well described character. A teenage hacker who went into the marines instead of going to jail, when he was caught. The pages of this book are full of violence, betrayal, power and money, all elements of a great thriller. The ending is quite unexpected.
I hope Gibson Vaughn returns soon in book 2 of the series!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
