The Hive by Gregg OlsenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a suspenseful thriller, although at times it was a little strange. The story begins with detective Lindsey Jackman investigating the death of writer Sarah Baker, who is found at the bottom of a ravine. To understand what Sarah was after, Lindsey needs to examine several members of "The Hive," the inside members of a cult run by skincare guru Marnie Spellman who claims to have had an otherworldly encounter with a hive of bees. This led her to the main ingredient in her line of wildly successful products.
As the story continues, we learn that there were actually two murders, one of them having been an aspiring member of The Hive. We learn each character's story, and more and more secrets are revealed. There are multiple layers to the plot, and surprising twists and turns. Greg Olsen can definitely write a mysterious suspense thriller. It was a little unbelievable, but at least it was different.
