Ten Worst People In New York - Matt Plass

Thriller

Rating: 7/10

The ten worst people in New York are dying, voted on like they were participants in Masked Singer.

But they probably deserve it right? They are after all, the worst. But would you trust an anonymous voting public hiding behind their social media handles to get it right? Not so much.

The story centers around FBI Special Agent Alex and a British filmmaker who finds himself somehow in the middle of everything in his attempts to reconnect with his estranged sister. A sister who is going to extraordinary lengths to avoid him.

If it wasn’t for these two characters, I likely would have stopped reading this book. A unique concept that unfortunately unraveled as the author made nonsensical connections in plot and character. In the end we have a bit of a jumble that has been clearly set up for a sequel. I will pass.

My thanks to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Press and the author for the advanced readers copy.
