- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This review is based on a digital copy I received from Author Gregg Dunnett. It is an honest and voluntary review and the complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.This story is told in both the past at the present, in first person and third person points of view. The story follows Jesse from childhood and it is from him that we have the first person voice. We are able to follow his story to where it intersects with his two friends John and Darren. These characters are where the surfing aspect of the plot is introduced. I am not a surfer so I cannot really comment on whether or not the surfing aspects of this book are correct or realistic. Though I did not find that with my inexperience there was anything glaringly ridiculous or unbelievable.In the beginning of the book we are introduced to Natalie who is the female protagonist of this story. The events in her life are also woven throughout the time transitions and in the beginning I was wondering what her significance to the overall plot was but after meeting the surfers it became apparent. I liked how Natalie was developed but I wish her character had been written with a backstory that would make her investigative actions plausible, not just of a woman whose husband has gone missing and has had no significant training in investigating missing persons. She should have had a credible background or been paired with a character who did.The characters introduced will keep your interest. You will find yourself reading on so that you can see what is going to be happening next. I found that I liked the transitions from the past to the present. At first I was a bit confused but as the story unfurled it became clearer who were the main protagonists. I liked that every character seemed to have something happening in their lives that contributed to the overall plot.This is a dark psychological thriller. The mystery is in the misdirection, the whole “he said, she said” aphorism. I really enjoyed while reading this story that I picked up on ominous forebodings for the future of characters but then I was misdirected with well written dialogue, reassured that I was mistaken and then by the end felt as if “dang! I should have seen that coming.” Right until the end you are not really sure in who to believe and it makes for a good read.*Thank you to Author Gregg Dunnett for this complimentary copy of The Wave at Hanging Rock*
