Loading... Here Afterby Sean Costello

 Costello hasn't lost his touch over the years. The prose is still sharp, the characters well drawn. That said, I found this a hard book to read—particularly the first third—and I imagine it would be even more difficult for anyone who has lost a child. Croft's grief is so deep, and it's so realistically portrayed, that it leaves one feeling emotionally drained. I'm not saying it's a bad book—not by any means. But it's not one that I would ever reread. Awards
Following the death of his ten-year-old son, physician Peter Croft embarks on a desperate, seemingly random search for a missing child, risking his sanity, even his life in a grief-induced quest. His journey propels him into the darkest reaches of human suffering and pits him squarely against an adversary whose own obsession defies all reason.Here After is a story of love, loss, obsession and redemption, with gripping action sequences and a subtle paranormal underpinning. A compelling read from a seasoned storyteller, Costello's sixth novel will keep you reading deep into the night.Here After has been optioned to film by David Hackl, director of Saw V.

I absolutely devoured this book. Even with working full time I was able to finish it within two days. I found the writing style highly engaging and the plot interesting and fulfilling.
The exploration of Peter's grief throughout the book was well done and the mystery woven into that story was great. The narrative twists the author wrote into his story were well done. The ending was just perfect. It closed the book in a satisfying and circular way. I couldn't have envisioned a more perfect ending for this book.
If you enjoy thrillers and mystery type books, this will definitely be up your ally. It's so well written and the plot was great. I can't recommend this book enough. I loved it. (
