First, I want to thank John Nicholl, Boldwood Books, NetGalley and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
O.M.G John Nicholl’s The Father will have you wondering what the heck you just read!! This was one seriously dark, sick, twisted, mind bending book that totally messes with your mind and thensome. It is unlike any other book that I have read and I have read a lot of psychological thrillers!
I am just being blunt this book is not for everyone. There are a ton of events in this book that for many it will be hard to swallow. Even though I am an open minded reader some of the events struck a chord with me.
Even though this is a fictional book I am shocked that this is based on true events. I can’t imagine the things John Nicholl saw while on duty as a police officer and child protection social worker.
The Father is part 3 in the Galbraith Series. I had not read any of John’s books in the past so I was not familiar with his writing style nor the series prior. It was easy to pick up but I am the type of person that likes to read the series in order. Having said that, I am not sure how the others compare to this one.
Even though I found Dr. Galbraith to be a very sick, twisted and perverse man the storyline surrounding him was fascinating. However, by me saying this I don’t approve of any actions that unfolded in this tale.
I could not help but have empathy for all the lives Dr. Galbraith ruined emotionally, mentally and even physically.
Oh I was not prepared at all for the jaw dropping mind blowing ending that John had in store for us!! Just totally shocked!!! WOW!!! What a way to end a story!
