The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald – Review by Angela Hayes

The Tears of BoabdilThe Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald is an intriguing crime story with a bit of a psychological component. The author weaves a tight, complex, and layered tale full of intrigue, drama, secrets, lies, blurred lines, duel ‘realities’, terrorists, espionage, romance, and more. The author cleverly crafts a story where the lines between reality and the stories that our MC weaves become blurred. Fact and fiction spiralling together.
Vince is a seasoned undercover operative who spends most of his time creating ‘reality’ with his ‘identities’, stories and lies. His story telling skills will be invaluable as he is assigned to infiltrate a terrorist group as an Islamic extremist. When he meets the sister of the groups leader, things take a complicated turn. Real life and undercover work merge, creating thought-provoking issues and complexities.
This story has me thinking about it, the developments, and the duality aspect of the story, long after I finished- and pondering the conclusion. I am still unsure of how to review this book- except to say that it is definitely worth the read, especially if you like a creative and thought provoking story.

Thank you, Neil MacDonald.
