Abandon - Blake Crouch

I greatly enjoyed this rollercoaster thriller. More twists and turns than...a twisty, turny thing, as Blackadder might say.

Over a century ago, the entire population of the town of Abandon vanished without trace. Now, a small party are going back to find out why. They'll wish they hadn't.

The solution to the disappearance was quite ingenious. My only irritation was that the author's attempts to make the Old West language of the town's characters authentic often left me struggling to understand their meaning. A case of being too clever by half. wink

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
