Review: Looking For Mr Fly by KK Byrne

Synopsis: Looking for Mr Fly is a psychological thriller that looks at the lives of seemingly regular individuals that have very little in common with the exception that they are all chasing the elusive goal of happiness. Tragedy is the catalyst that drives the groups demons to the surface and it soon becomes evident that when you peer underneath the veneer of normaility and look closely enough you find that people are anything but normal.

How well do any of us really know our work colleagues. Here author KK Byrne silently posits the question whilst exploring the interconnecting relationships of a small group of co-workers through interweaving narratives.

Set against a bleak landscape which seems to project itself onto the lives of these individuals, Byrne has created a tantalising psychological thriller, whose detailed ambiance slowly, and subtlety, draws you in, leaving you constantly second guessing where you are being lead. In fact, the narrative is as manipulative and as disingenuous as some of the characters.

" ... there is a story to tell there ... the only trouble will be getting someone to tell it ..."

The ending is not how a reader will imagine it ... but ... well .... I will leave that for the reader to discover for themselves. Definitely a book to be read and savoured in one sitting!
