Flowers From the Black Sea By A.B. Decker

Thank you @zooloosBT and @decker_ab for letting me be part of this your and reviewing this book. Flowers from the Black Sea is a crime thriller and is set in Turkey. The main characters where Mark who has been asked by his friend Ben to find someone . Mark is a private investigator, but Mark finds out there a lot more to finding this man, it is to do with Ben sister who was murder by the person Mark is looking for. Mark also meets Amber who helps to uncover what really happened to Susie (Ben sister). The story is a good pace you can keep up with, and it is intriguing read. There were times I was gripping the sofa because I had no clue what was going to happen to Mark and Ben. There are themes in the book, misogyny , gangsters, murder, and politics. There are some great twists and turns I did not see coming and is written exceedingly well. If you want a different read from normal this is your book. There is omniscient narrative which I liked because you saw all the characters perspective and what was going on around them. 4 stars engrossing read. A.B’s Bio A native of Exeter, A.B.
