Kill the Messenger by Tami Hoag is a fast-paced story gripping you into its many characters – the messenger boy, the detective, the victim (murdered), the victim (attacked) and the killer (question mark). The messenger boy trying hard to get to the bottom of things of why he is wanted as a suspect for a murder, why the goons are chasing him and who can be the main culprit. The plot thickens, and the various characters and stories cross each other’s path. And there’s not going to be a single moment where you will want to keep the book aside to take a break.

A suspense thriller and a riveting one at that, marvelously written with all the kicks of a roller coaster ride, and you can’t guess what can be the trigger for the kill in the first place. The tension of the drama juxtaposed with innocence of a few characters will keep you agape at the end of the tale.

Score: 8/10
