2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. One of the best stories I’ve read for "Books & Pals," By Pete Barber (Author) I Came To Find A Girl is one of the best stories I’ve read for "Books & Pals," and when you consider I’ve reviewed 100+ and sampled at least six times that many titles, you’ll understand that is a substantial compliment to the author. Finding unique stories like this is what keeps me reading indie works.The writing was light and crisp with terrific imagery. How’s this for a keen observation in a night club full of “beautiful people?”--“Boys with shaved heads and sharp suits stood in a Reservoir Dogs group while a Jesus lookalike in an artfully torn T-shirt popped something in his mouth.” The prose flowed. The dialogue was clipped and realistic. And the pages kept turning. The author owes me some sleep.Large portions of the story were shown through the lens of a camera being used to record a documentary film. This unusual technique took a little getting used to, but it proved an effective and efficient way to cover a lot of ground, both physically (because the film was shot in short segments at different locations) and also emotionally, as the person holding the camera, Jack Flood, was a main character, and the movie he was making became a key part of the plot.The main character, Mia, was a struggling art student heading into her final year and working as a waitress to cover her expenses. She and her friends were so real to me they jumped off the page.There was an underlying mystery threaded through the book, but it never dominated the plot. Sure, I wanted to know “who done it?” but the journey was satisfying enough that it didn’t need a big reveal. I was disappointed when I turned the last page. Not because the story didn’t feel complete—it did--I just didn’t want it to end.Highly recommended!Disclaimer: This review was originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. I may have received a free review copy.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A sophisticated game of cat and mouse. By Megan I was sent this book for free in exchange for an honest review.Mia, a fine-art student in Nottingham is in her second year of University when she meets Jack Flood – a controversial artist who captures his work and life on his hand-held camera. The night Mia meets Jack changes her life forever in a way she never feels she will get over.When girls start turning up dead and her close friend Jenny goes missing, Mia is starting to fear for her life in her student house located in the seedy, dangerous area of Nottingham – and with her final year of University fast approaching she needs to focus on her ‘finale’.Jack Flood keeps appearing in Mia’s life, and when she’s trying to avoid him she wonders if he is in any way linked to these missing and murdered girls. After all, he ruined her life in one night so could his game of cat and mouse be the missing link to her friend Jenny?What did I think?Jaq Hazell was shortlisted for The Virginia Prize for Fiction for her incredible work with ‘I Came To Find A Girl’ and after reading it, I can definitely see why!Hazell has written a magnificent mystery novel that constantly keeps you on your toes and wanting more! Not only has Hazell managed to write a gripping story, the way she has written it is incredibly. It all flows perfectly and gives you just enough to imagine exactly how the story should play-out.‘I Came To Find A Girl’ really pulls you in to Mia’s student-life in Nottingham and incorporates some really racy topics that haunt us in today’s world. The way Hazell has approached these subjects (such as date rape and murder) is faultless and she really writes about them with the delicacy they require but not so delicate that it doesn’t leave you thinking.I think this would be an incredibly interesting book to be adapted for the ‘big-screen’. It is so complex and could definitely be turned in to a hit-film if it is kept exactly as the book is.I am definitely adding Hazell’s other releases and any future novels she may write. If the other novels are as good as this she could be competing for a spot as my favourite author!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good technique but difficult for me to get to end By SFSusan I read a lot of mysteries and thrillers including a lot of British mysteries and thrillers. I found this book ok - I read on a long flight - But it left me cold and I forced myself to get to the end. I liked the way the author presented the story - mainly through a filming of events - but it was odd and at times extremely difficult to follow. I needed to re-read several sections to determine whether the character was watching the film or not. Wish I could have given this book another star.
