DEATH UNMASKED CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, AND DEVELOPMENT:
First I must say, as I started this book, I did not think it would be my cup of tea. Filled with flowery prose and poetry, I was ready to put the book down. However, I found author Rick Sulik was setting the tone and background for the story which would follow. Author Rick Sulik hooked me in the following chapters which reverted to a more normal writing style. Had I stopped reading I would have missed an excellent story-line with well-developed characters and solid pacing.
The concept of reincarnation is not a new story-line premise. However, Mr. Sulik provided a solid refreshing take on this concept. Along with just the right amount of technical investigative procedures and paranormal elements, Mr. Sulik’s story is insightful and intriguing. I particularly liked seeing the investigation from the law enforcement point of view and the presentation of the procedures used by modern-day crime fighters.
Furthermore, the characters development was skillfully as each character was developed to their potential. Also, Mr. Sulik included a surprise ending which I did not see coming. The pacing of the story was correct for the length of the book. I found Mr. Sulik’s writing style was unique, clear, and easy to read providing hours of enjoyment as I followed the team on the hunt for the evil incarnate. I found the poetry and the prose in the story-line very enjoyable.
In concluding my romance mystery novel review of Death Unmasked, I found the story intriguing, filled with mystery, evil, and action packed. I also found, Mr. Sulik skillfully wove many threads together to form a solidly written novel.
