Ray Courage has
received a startling message from his wife. The problem was that his wife died
in a fatal car accident 13 years ago. What’s going on here? Who sent that
message, that strange, bone-chilling message?
I was
instantly lured by the gripping introduction as questions tickled my mind.
Could the wife still be alive? And why would she think that Ray tried to kill
her? What really happened the day that she “died?” This then provokes Ray to
investigate.
It would
seem that the wife’s apparent death may have had something to do with the
custody battle of a web domain and the lynches of a Russian mafia. Of course, I
failed to see the connection in all that. It almost felt like this all deviated
from the “dead” wife, but I had to trust that the author would make something
from this labyrinth of cryptic clues and superfluous storyline.
Courage Resurrected is a complex mystery
thriller that both stimulates and lulls the reader. While riveted to discover
the whereabouts of the wife and who is behind all those perplexing emails, you
are also quelled by the intricacy of the case, which, like a ripple, largely
spans out into less prominent and more ambiguous forms. I mean, who were
Mastrov and Lobo? What could they possibly have to do with what happened to
Ray’s wife? And what’s up with “Crazy Zebra Way?” Frankly, all the confusion
pacified what started off as a compelling mystery read. The story was well-written for the most part,
but I just wasn’t that excited with it.
My rating: 3.5 stars
