James Scott Bell introduces us to good people facing an impossible situation in his thriller, Your Son is Alive. When Dylan and Erin Reece’s son was kidnapped fifteen years ago, their world, and eventually their marriage, came to an end. The passing of time doesn’t dull the hurt, but Dylan is determined to try to find happiness again when a note is slipped under his door. Your son is alive is written in crayon, and Dylan must find out if this is a sick joke or a miraculous truth.
Strange things continue to happen to Dylan and Erin as they work together to find out whether their son is truly alive, and Bell makes the reader care for these characters as we go on this search with them. This easy-to-like book takes us on a roller coaster ride with each chapter leaving us wanting to turn another page.
The chapters alternate viewpoints between Dylan, Erin and occasionally the “bad guy,” and I always find that method keeps me invested in the story. Every time I think I have something figured out, Bell adds a new twist to the mix. I enjoy the music and movie references that he throws in, and the memories that Dylan and Erin have about their five years with their son Kyle are relatable enough to capture any parent’s attention.
Bell writes without sexual scenes, vulgar language or gratuitous violence, and I found that a refreshing change of pace. Your Son is Alive is a great addition to anyone’s thriller collection.
