The Blue Hour

The Blue Hour by Douglas Kennedy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars. The Blue Hour is the first book that I have read by Douglas Kennedy, and I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed not only this book but his writing as well. First off before I go on I’d like to thank Netgallery for allowing me to read this book for my honest review.
This book had great characters, a good pace, mystery, and a wonderful description of Moroccan that I actually felt like I was right there in the middle of it all. The details were so vivid and lively, that I could smell, taste, see, experience, touch, and hear all there was to experience without leaving my house.

Robin is pushing forty, works as an accountant, and lives a very conservative life in New York. She meets Paul, and artist that sweeps her off her feet, and the two marry, though they are an unlikely match. They decide to go to Morocco where Paul once worked and lived. Little does Robin know that her relaxing vacation is about to change. Paul disappears, and the only clues that Robin has is what is written in his journal. Following these clues, Robin learns that Paul might not be the man she married, he seems to have some secrets, does she have the strength to follow all the clues, no matter where they lead her, and is their love strong enough for her to find him?

This book kept me guessing at every corner, was one of the better page turners that I’ve read this year, and made me feel as though I was right there watching and witnessing everything that was happening. However, I will say there is a very violent scene, but if you read it quickly you’ll get through it and back to the story at hand, but not before it changes something in Robin.
