Lateral: Manhunt 

By Sophie Ester and Carolyn Nicholas 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Ratings 4.5/5

Synopsis 
Robert Dayle thought he would have his revenge.
He nearly succeeded too.
But in the end, they had survived.
Carol was happy; together with her family again, married to a famous rock star, no less!
Yes, Carol was finally happy…

But revenge is a dish best served cold.
A dish to be savoured.
And someone was still hungry…


Lateral is the second in a six-part mystery series featuring the lives of Steven, Jamey, Robin, Vincent, and Carol Vanhoven.
It’s a story about family, survival… and revenge.

My Thoughts 
"Lateral: Manhunt," the second installment in a six-part mystery series by Sophie Ester and Carolyn Nicholas, continues to unravel the complex dynamics of the Vanhoven family. The book delves deeper into themes of survival, familial bonds, and, most intriguingly, revenge. At the center is Carol Vanhoven, whose life seems idyllic—reunited with her family and married to a famous rock star. But despite the peace Carol has found, the lingering tension of unfinished business remains. The revenge storyline introduces a palpable sense of danger as an unresolved threat lurks in the background.

The authors weave an intricate plot, exploring how each family member copes with past trauma while maintaining an air of suspense that keeps readers guessing. The book succeeds in mixing human vulnerability with elements of suspense, as characters like Robert Dayle seek justice in the most chilling ways.

This book balances character-driven storytelling with thrilling moments, creating an engaging narrative for mystery lovers. Readers of the first book will enjoy the deepening relationships and the escalation of tension as old wounds reopen and revenge is slowly exacted. It’s a story that leaves you on edge, reminding us that the past never truly stays buried.

"Lateral: Manhunt" is a compelling addition to the series, keeping readers invested in the fates of the Vanhoven family while providing a satisfying continuation of the mystery that began in book one. Fans of family sagas and psychological thrillers will find much to enjoy here.

Highly Recommended!
