The Disappearance of Jonathan Bloom is a sharp, well written thriller, which fairly cracks along in an easy to read style, long enough to allow character and situation development, but at just over 200 pages it's short enough to get through in one or two determined sittings.
The author wastes no time in creating an instantly dislikable protagonist Julian Bowen, a schemer used to profiting from his wits and manipulating people to achieve his goals, a chancer turned murderer when backed into a corner. Needing to lay low having stolen the identity of one Jonathan Bloom he heads out to the African Savanna with an eclectic bunch of somewhat naive travelers and care worn guides. Needless to say he reverts to type, carnage ensues and he leaves the stranded party to their fate. What ensues is a rollocking yarn of survival, teamwork, and a race against time and the fearful conditions to say nothing of the hungry wildlife.
What will become of Bloom/Bowen, how many times can one man disappear? Will anyone survive, will Bloom return to finish what he started or will his deserved malediction befall him?
Enjoy lost of twists and turns in the finding out.
