The Raven
Coffey & Hill book 2
by Mike Nappa
| -From Goodreads- As part of his regular street performance, a deception specialist who goes by the name The Raven picks his audience's pockets while they watch. It's harmless fun--until he decides to keep the spare wallet a city councilman doesn't seem to miss, hoping for a few extra bucks. When he finds not money but compromising photos of the councilman and his "personal assistants," The Raven hatches a plan to blackmail the man. However, he quickly finds himself in over his head with the Ukrainian Mafia and mired in a life-threatening plot code-named, "Nevermore." Private investigators Trudi Coffey and Samuel Hill must scramble to sort out the clues--and their complicated feelings for each other--to rescue The Raven and save hundreds of lives from a wildcard bent on revenge. Mike Nappa snags readers from the first page of this fast-paced thriller--and he never lets go until the end. ISBN-13: 9780800726454 Can Coffey & Hill prevent 'Nevermore'...? Wow! It's been quite awhile since reading the first Coffey & Hill book, Annabelle Lee, so I'd almost forgotten what to expect when I picked up The Raven. It didn't take me long to get into Mike Nappa's second book in the series, and, honestly, I think this one is my favorite of the two. |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

In a style somewhat reminiscent of Ted Dekker, Mike Nappa weaves a taut tale of suspense with a definite psychological thriller bent. This gritty story had a little bit of everything, betrayal, manipulation, revenge, regret, lost love, humor, tragedy, redemption, fear, and undeserved grace. Oh, and the nod to another of Poe's poems was perfect.
The Raven is dark, and sometimes a little violent, but I really enjoyed it. I finished the over 420 page book much faster than I usually would one of its length. Needless to say, I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next Coffey & Hill novel...
