Book Review: ‘Instinct: A Novel’ By Jason M. Hough

You would think that life in the small town of Silvertown, Washington, with a population of just over 600 would be easy. But it’s not for Officer Mary Whitaker, who at the moment is running the two person police department. Strange things are happening around town. A man is in the middle of the street after crashing his Harley and later tries to kill Mary. A woman just leaves her twin babies to go to lunch. A hiker is found dead in the woods. A young man mysteriously dies. And it’s all on Mary’s shoulders to figure out what’s going on. And when she finally figures it all out it may be too late for her. Mysterious forces are at work and Mary is in the middle of it, basically by herself. It’s sink or swim and Mary will go down fighting to stop they forces, even if it means her own life.

A thrilling story with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged right up to the climax of the story. You can pick up Instinct in stores on Tuesday, April 6th from Gallery.
