Written by award-winning Irish author Alan Gorevan, the novel ‘Better Confess’ is a gripping story of Florence Lynch who is caught in a mesh of dark intricacies of an online forum. After an exasperating breakup with her boyfriend, she lands herself, in a drunken frenzy, into the web of ‘helpers’ who can get rid of Simon, her boyfriend. The plot swirls into action unfolding a series of events where Florence tries desperately to retrace her steps, but sees herself failing miserably as the hitman ascends onto Simon. Will she be able to stop Thomas, the professional shooter, or would she end up witnessing her ex-boyfriend lose his life because she was too jealous to look at the real picture?
The novel kicks off immediately, revealing the characters, their thought processes and their intentions. With a great stroke of mastery, Gorevan is able to give out the necessary character details without actually stating them in plain words. The flow is definitely flawless and smooth. Once you start the book, you have got to fasten your seatbelt, for you are in for a roller coaster ride.
As the storyline develops, the reader definitely notices how the threads keep coming together to form a pattern, leaving no loose ends. The characters behave naturally and there is no forced action in the novel. There is a lot of psychological insight into the characters and you get an idea of why they are behaving the way they are. Heightened emotions are all over the place arresting the reader’s attention as they submerge themselves along with the text into feelings of regret, violent temper, ambition and clever betrayal. Gorevan juggles all these emotions perfectly well.
The novel is set in two cities simultaneously: Dublin and London. The shift in chapters is basically the shift from one city to the other, from one character’s insight into the other character’s. What is great about this structure is that it does not break the chain of events and the reader doesn’t feel lost at all. It is like the author is holding hands with all the characters taking them all along so nothing juicy or important is left out.
If getting into mystery thrillers gets your adrenaline flowing, Better Confess is definitely the next book you should pick up. It will keep you hooked right till the end and you will not be able to take a breath till you actually finish it. At one point in the book, you start feeling that the flow is now all built up and the plot is now resolving. You are in for a shock because right at that moment, you will be jolted into the actual twist of the storyline. The book is full of surprises, captivating events and repercussions of the dark web which entangles and swallows up the characters.
Florence always made sure to present herself optimally when she met clients: looking well-groomed, smelling pleasant, smiling and alert, after a solid night’s sleep. She drank two litres of water each day to keep her teenage acne in the past tense, and had her hair styled at an exclusive salon every two weeks. As far as appearances went, she had little to worry about, though some days the gap between her front teeth preoccupied her. She had a tall, athletic build, an upright carriage and long, honey-coloured hair.
At thirty, Florence knew she was on the brink of personal and professional triumph. Her bachelor’s degree in communications and her master’s in marketing had set her on a trajectory towards success.
Always striving for improvement, she liked to share what she’d learned with others. - An excerpt from Better Confess.
