Envy

I just finished Michael Koryta's newest novel, Envy the Night. (www.michaelkoryta.com) It is amazing, fabulous, hard to put down, suspensefull, all of the above. He has written a book so tightly crafted, it is just wonderful. It's the story a young man who returns to a childhood spot to extract revenge on a man who he believes betrayed his father. You'll have to read it yourself if you want to find out if he did.

I really like Michael's works. With each new novel, he just gets better and better. His plots are often complex and compelling. The books are always readable (even when you have to put it down for a while because he has built the suspense to a fever pitch and you need to breath a minute before you can finish.) And he's a nice guy too. I've met him at library events and book signings and he's okay. And much better looking than his picture on the book cover suggests.

So go out and buy a copy of Envy the Night. You'll want to own it-it's that good. Then tell all your friends and tell them to buy a copy. You won't want to share.
