That sounds exactly like what I'm in the mood for – suspenseful and character-driven. I'll check out his site and see which book to start with. Thanks for the detailed recommendation!
Yes, I've read a couple of his books and really enjoyed them. He writes tight, suspenseful thrillers with a strong sense of place – his stories often have a noirish feel with sharp dialogue and morally complex characters. One of his novels follows a detective in a small town dealing with a murder that's connected to a decades-old cold case. The pacing is great and the twists feel earned. If you like authors like Dennis Lehane or Michael Connelly, I think you'd enjoy his work. If you want to check out his books and read more about his style, the site is at https://frankmckinleyauthor.com/ – he also has some short stories that are worth reading.
I'm in the mood for a good thriller or mystery novel and I came across an author named Frank McKinley. I'm not sure if he's well-known or what his style is like. Has anyone read his work? I'm looking for something suspenseful with good character development.
