One Last Prayer for the Rays by Wes MarkinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
ONE LAST PRAYER FOR THE RAYS is a remarkably astonishing novel, a mystery amazing in both its depth and breadth. From the explosive and sad commencement, right through to the oh no! epilogue, the author kept my attention totally riveted to the page, as he unfolded characters who have to be read to be believed. Total suspension of disbelief here, and an incredible introduction to abnormal psychology of several stripes!
Set in and around Salisbury, England, a fount of civilization for millenia, the mystery focuses on one particular lineage, the Rays, which generation after generation have produced monsters. Seemingly, only three are left, a brother and sister, and the brother's young son. The son, Paul, is intelligent and gifted, attending Salisbury's Cathedral School. Hopefully he will remain free of the cursed taint of his family history. All that is upended when he is found missing from school, and the clues point to injury or fatality.
