Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT THRILLER
Review: Seventy-year-old English writer John Charles lives a comfortable life in France. However, John's quiet lifestyle is abruptly shattered when a bullet is fired at his cottage from an unknown assailant. Subsequently, a man dressed in threads similar to what John enjoys wearing is found dead. Finally, John's beloved home is burned to the ground.

Rather than visit the police, the invigorated John flees across the continent to escape his enemies, even as he tries to learn their identities. However, his unknown foes are in close pursuit and they know a lot about what makes John ticks as his past threatens to catch up to him. His enemies will kill him if they ever catch up to him.

ONE MORE RIVER is great personal thriller that digs deep into the mind of the victim. The story line hooks the reader early and never lets go until the novel is finished. The book effortlessly switches back and forth between first and third person without missing a beat and, in fact, propels the terrific tale forward. Nicolas Freeling demonstrates the depth of his talent with this brilliantly written, fast-paced novel that is outside the author's normal realm (police procedural starring Inspector Castang). This reviewer recommends this novel and the author's Castang books because they are all quite enjoyable.
