Quite enjoyed this book, and the writing style of MacArthur. Will be on the look out for more of his work.
Particularly enjoyed how the psychic aspect was handled.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Cameron Publicity and Marketing Ltd for an advance copy of The Death of Harry Crow, the first novel to feature Rhode Island based Finding Man” William Snow.

Snow finds people when the Police have failed so Laura Crow asks him for help in finding her teenage daughter, Amanda, who has been troubled and difficult since the death of her father in a car crash four years earlier and whom the Police believe has run away with her boyfriend. The discovery of the boyfriend’s murdered body leads Snow to believe that Amanda has been kidnapped and somehow it is linked to the death of Harry Crow. He is hunting a madman known as The Driver.

I enjoyed The Death of Harry Crow which is a well written and plotted crime thriller with some unexpected twists and turns, not least the fact that William Snow is psychic. I’ll be honest, it’s not really my kind of reading and the author makes a big thing of it. There is no “maybe there’s an alternative explanation“ it is straightforward places and things inducing visions/daydreams that he can interpret correctly to push his investigation forward. Hmm.

Nevertheless it is well written with a plot that unfolds over the course of the novel with much of the mystery lying in The Driver’s motives and plans. The narrative is mostly split between Snow in the first person and The Driver in the third person, one tracking, the other carrying out his unspecified plan. It has a moreish quality as the reader tries to work out what The Driver is up to and wills Snow on to find Amanda, as his quest grows increasingly bigger and more convoluted. It’s fair to say that the ending is unusual as all becomes clear and the situation is resolved.

I’m not sure what to think of William Snow as, in many ways, he remains a cypher. Dogged, yes, psychic, yes, kind, yes, everything else, no. I liked the novel but, again, I’m not sure if I want to read the follow up.

William Snow has the gift of sight. He is an expert in finding missing children when the police cannot connect the dots. He has the gift of being liked by people they tell him the little things that help him follow the trail to the truth. You know he is a caring person having rescued his dog from a dumpster. A multiple vehicle accident with many deaths 4 years ago will connect with missing people and even a dog in the present. The police cannot see the connection but Snow and his unusual friend will find the trail which will lead to an unbelievable finish.
This is a mystery with a difference. Characters that are believable. You will find you cannot wait till the last page.
I was given an arc of this book by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

A story within a story within a story with thrills at every turn. Leith MacArthur has written a unique story line that is straight out of the nightmare you have after watching the wrong kind of movie.

A young woman and her boyfriend are missing. She has been having emotional problems since the death of her father in a car crash 4 years earlier. The police assume the couple have just run off. Then the boyfriend's body is found and it's obviously foul play. When the police effort is still lacking, the young woman's mother hires a physic famous for finding missing persons. This is the back story...the beginning of the nightmare...the place where questions asked lead to answers that lead us into the master plan of a killer known as the Driver.

Thomas Snow is a well known physic, he finds missing persons using his gift of sight. This is the first in a series with excellent possibilities. Leith MacArthur has introduced us to a new resident on my TBR stack.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A good well-written gritty thriller, full of twists and thrills, great characters, good plot. A recommended read.

Great thriller which kept me engaged throughout to the very end. Only wish I had read it sooner! Will be reading more by this author and recommend highly to others.
