The Intruders by Brett McKay – Review by Kerry Carr
The Intruders by Brett McKay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow what a story this was. It is a great Thriller that had me hooked from the first page. I just couldn’t stop reading which to me is a sign of a good book. The author has put a lot of effort into getting inside the minds of the characters and it has really paid off in the writing. You feel you are beside the characters and witnessing and feeling everything first hand which only makes the story more compelling. The insight into the characters mind also makes them more real and not just some words on the page.
Dex is a loving father and husband. He’s a bit down on his luck but he will do anything for his family. He seems stuck in his dead end job until the day a strange package arrives.
Dex doesn’t open the package however so has no idea what is about to happen.
When strangers break into his house and kidnap Dex and his wife and kids, Dex’s whole world is turned upside down.
Now he faces unimaginable torture while the strange men try to get answers from him. But he doesn’t have any answers?
What follows is a really painful time as he is tortured, while they try to get to answer he doesn’t possess.
Can Dex escape this hell and find a way of saving himself and his family? What do these people want? And is there some connection to Dex that even he isn’t aware of.
This book is a gripping fast paced read that will keep you hooked. It is full of danger and tension and will take you on a rollercoaster of a ride as the story unravels.
