BAD APPLES BY WILL DEAN - THE FOURTH IN THE LIFE OF THE JOURNALIST TUVA MOODYSON

 Book Review


Title                      Bad Apples - A Tuva Moodyson Thriller


Author                  Will Dean


Published by.        A Point Blank Book

‘Wow’ and what a read from start to finish. Will Dean has excelled himself with this story set in  Sweden’s forestlands.


This is the fourth in the series where Tuva’s journalism takes her to some very special places. If you pick ‘Bad Apples’ from off the rack then don’t put it back but buy the three previous ones as well.. Will Dean started Tuva’s journey with ‘Dark Pines’, then came ‘Red Snow’ and ‘Black River’ which takes the reader through the frightening forests of pines and into and out of some very dark, traumatic and unworldly places. He introduces characters in ‘Dark Pines’ and they crop up again with the three books that followed. It makes sense really to meet them and to try and figure out who they are and why they are here and are they real? 


It is set initially in a place called Gavrik where Tuva works for their local paper, but the way these stories are told I think the reverse is true and added to that she has a strong bond with the Police Department. It all helps and keeps this one moving fast and furious.  She is now deputy editor and she covers Visberg. Simply referred to as a hill town. In my mind it’s on the edge of everywhere and nowhere! A strange place with strange people, but I won’t spoil it for they will introduce themselves when you read it. 


There is no way I would give any of the plot away and there are three pages of plaudits if you don’t take my word for this one is a must read. Thriller as proclaimed on the cover and one that can take one beyond the edge of reason! It is excellent

.  And I suspect there will be more to follow in the life of Tuva Moodyson
