Bombproof

After a couple of false starts I finally found a book that I could not put down: Bombproof by Michael Robotham. The plot was a great idea, based on recent events. There is a train blown up and naturally it is assumed it is a terrorist attack, a suicide bomber. But what if it was just a bumbling ex con in the wrong place at the wrong time? The story went from one disaster to another but it all fell apart at the end. Fell apart for me as the reader that is. The ending was far too happy, too contrived and thoroughly unbelievable. This book was a special giveaway as part of the Book Alive campaign in Australia in August 2008. That should give a clue about how far behind I am with my reading. My bookshelves are full of unread books!
