Dark, twisty, thrilling, plus beautiful sentences. One of my favorite crime novels of the year.
3.5 StarsKimberly Crepeaux is well known in her rural hometown in Maine. She is well-known for being an addict, a teen mother, a liar and a snitch. So, when she confesses to FBI agent, Rob Barrett as to her involvement in the killings of Jackie and Ian and the disposal of their bodies - not many people believe her confession or version of events. Except for Barrett, who has been trained in telling a true confession from a false one. He believes her confession and becomes almost obsessed with his...
1.5* Yes, I'm rating this harsh. No, I don't care. To say that this was a disappointment is an understatement. Even when I discovered this was more like a police procedural than his usually bout of mysteries I still kept HOW IT HAPPENED on my TBR. I usually like PPs, I can roll with this. But this was pushing it. Koryta knows how to keep his readers hooked- I'll give him that. With (bordering on unnecessary) short chapters, you feel compelled to finish if for no other reason than to get this ove...
Whoa! What a fun ride How It Happened was. I am familiar with Michael Koryta's writing and I haven't been disappointed yet. The depth that Koryta goes into with regards to character development is top-notch for a suspense thriller such as How It Happened.Early in the novel we're reading Kimberly Crepeaux's confession of how she, along with a couple accomplices, killed Ian Kelly and Jackie Pelletier. Ian and Jackie have been missing and finding their bodies would help to bring resolution to their...
3.5 starsKimberly Crepeaux is not known for telling the truth. She does the heroin, is a teen mom and now adds jail house snitch to her resume. FBI investigator Rob Barrett is one of the few people who actually believes her story. After all she IS implicating herself in the murder of two local teenagers. She tells them where the bodies are and now Barrett just has to go find them.The bodies turn up at a completely different location. Murdered in a different way than Kimmy told. So Barrett loo...
From the beginning of Michael Koryta’s new book, readers know “How it Happened.” At least that’s how it appears. Rob Barrett returns to the small town of Port Hope, Maine where he spent his summers as a teenager and where his former girlfriend Liz lives. In his first murder case as an FBI investigator and interrogator, Rob is able to obtain a confession from Kimberly Crepeaux, something no other law enforcement officer has been able to do. Despite Kimberly’s history as a notorious liar and heroi...
Thank you to Ashley from @littlebrown #partner for sending me How It Happened by Michael Koryta! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I haven’t read anything by this author but that will soon change. This comes out MAY 15th! Can we talk about this cover?!?!Right in the first chapter we are given a story of “how it happened” from a drug addict named Kimberly. She tells a long tale of what happened the day two people go missing. She even tells where to find them. FBI agent, Rob Barrett, believes her imm...
I do not think that Michael Koryta is capable of writing a bad book. I am always so impressed with his intelligence, his characters, and his intriguing plots. HOW IT HAPPENED is as good as any mystery you will read this year, and will more than likely stick with you for the foreseeable future. I know it will remain in my mind for some time to come.
Excellent read. I think I've found my book of the year. I'd read Koryta's first and part of his second book and thought Meh. I picked this one up off the self at Barnes and Noble, started reading and couldn't put it down. The writing craft is sensational. I went and bought all of his other books. I can only hope they are of this same craft level.Highly recommend.
