Like your brief intro. James Patterson-like. Backed and ready to read. A return read would be great.

Thank you all! I am gald you liked the story. I wrote it some 11 or 12 years ago and finally I had a chance to get it published. I also was, for a brief while, hooked on writing a sequel. I'm not sure if time constraints would allow it now. But maybe sometime in future! :)

Enjoyed reading 'The Crux' thoroughly. Fascinating portrayal of Ben's character as both a victim of circumstances and a vicious killer. Left me at the end, asking myself whether I sympathise with him or condemn him for his crimes. Ernest, logical development of plot with all the twists . You have used your expertise well to make the book a worthwhile spellbinding thriller.
I look forward to reading more of your work in thriller genre. All the best :)

Hi Ernest, enjoyed your psychological thriller...kept waiting for the phone to ring.
The character of Louis comes over well.
I liked the first chapter, the mystery caller keeping the suspense going.
The ending of your story came out different to what I expected...a bonus to a compelling read.
Great stuff!!
Very pleased to star rate it high and wish you well.

Kind regards,
