The Bomb Maker | Thomas Perry
2 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
A bomb is more than a weapon. A bomb is an expression of the bombers predictions of human behaviora performance designed to fool you into making one fatally wrong move. In The Bomb Maker, Thomas Perry introduces us to the dark corners of a mind intent on transforming a simple machine into an act of murderand to those committed to preventing that outcome at any cost. A threat is called into the LAPD Bomb Squad and when tragedy ensues, the fragmented unit turns to Dick Stahl, a former Bomb Squad commander who now operates his own private security company. Just returned from a tough job in Mexico, Stahl is at first reluctant to accept the offer, but his sense of duty to the technicians he trained is too strong to turn it down. On his first day back at the head of the squad, Stahls three-person team is dispatched to a suspected car bomb. And it quickly becomes clear to him that they are dealing with an unusual mastermindone whose intended target seems to be the Bomb Squad itself. As the shadowy organization sponsoring this campaign of violence puts increasing pressure on the bomb maker, and Stahl becomes dangerously entangled with a member of his own team, the fuse on this high-stakes plot only burns faster. The Bomb Maker is Thomas Perrys biggest, most unstoppable thriller yet.

I suppose you could say this was a #unique read for mystery #bookclub because a giant bomb isn‘t your standard murder weapon (Thank God!!), and it also fulfills the #newtoyou author prompt. I‘m not sure if I‘ll read anything else of his, but it was a@real page turner.

I happened across this book on my local library‘s new additions shelf and when I read the blurb I just knew I had to read this book. I was not disappointed! I really enjoyed it! I have never read anything by Thomas Perry before and I plan to read others after this novel. It was well worth the read and very surprising at times!
