If you read my recent review of The Zombie Room, you will know that I bought The Elephant Tree on a recent visit to the UK where I was lucky enough to meet the author himself. This book, like The Zombie Room was excellent and I would absolutely recommend that you read both R.D. Ronald's books and anything else the author writes as you will not be disappointed. Both The Zombie Room and The Elephant Tree are great books!
The Elephant Tree was a very compelling book from start to end. It was fast-paced - I couldn't wait to see what happens next. Yet this book is different from all the thrillers I have read because it offers more than just adrenaline rush. The author keeps you intrigued through the various twists and turns.Despite the setting being the world of drug dealers and criminals, you can't help but sympathize with the characters. Scott and Angela were very likeable characters. I genuinely felt for
R. D. Ronald begins with Scott, a struggling drug dealer, whose dream is to return to his familys country. In reality, Scott is tied down to a mortgage payment on his deceased uncles country home. Angela is special to Scott, but he made a promise her father, Putty, not to date her. Putty wants more for his daughter than to marry a drug dealer though he is Scottys supplier. And Detective Fallon is poking his nose everywhere looking for answers. The Elephant Tree is more than a crime thriller.
Initially I wasnt sure what to expect from The Elephant Tree and only bought the ebook because it was cheap but how glad I am that I did. I think this is the modern day equivalent of the bargain bin books I used to find hidden gems in when I was a kid. Its difficult to describe the certain elements of intrigue in The Elephant Tree without giving away any spoilers, but I will say that this is far more than your typical case of crime fiction police procedural coupled with predictable clichéd
I must admit, I was dubious starting this book as it isn't usually my scene. Once I started reading it, however, my mind was changed. The characters have a very real feel to them and you feel like part of the story almost instantaneously. The book has an amazing empathetic mood to it and as well as having those everyday life and happy moments, it has sad bits that really draw out your emotion. Even if you are easily upset by tear-jerking stories, (like myself), I would recommend this book as It
This is a book for the indie generation with a consistent quiet distaste for the mainstream throughout. An intriguing, crime thriller, and whilst too grimy to be a light-read, it is easy-going and undemanding. The main character is a reluctant drug dealer, who, through the first half of the book, tends to be an aloof observer of much of his city/ drug world, often quite grumpy, but attempting to maintain integrity in his choices, and some distance from risky actions. He is motivated by a desire
