The Unquiet Dead: A Novel

annihilation, Bosnia, Canada, justice, law-enforcement, missing-persons, mystery, read, real-horror, retribution, thriller***** If you reading Stephen King is your idea of horror, the realities enclosed in this Canadian mystery will challenge that. At least King's stuff is 100% fiction. The horrors of Bosnia are not. The publisher's blurb is quite good and is an excellent hook, so I won't try to improve on it or do the spoiler thing, but some readers do need the *trigger warning*. The mystery itself is very well done and I highly recommend it. The main characters are engaging and very realistic (unfortunately, so are too many of the others). It's the thread of the backstory of the carnage in Bosnia that runs throughout the book and is totally inescapable that sets this book apart. What really made it more real for me was that I had just finished a book about the events in Somalia. I got this as an audio narrated by Peter Ganim who is good with the names.
