It is the middle of the night and I just finished The Unwilling. How do I describe this book as it has so many different paths to follow? The effects of the Viet Nam war on a family, a serial killer, prison life..... The oldest of twins, Robert is killed in Viet Nam, the family loses Jason who fought in the war and came back damaged spending time in prison. The youngest son, Gibby is finishing high school and is trying to figure out life. Then there are the parents. Dad is a cop trying to keep it all together and his wife is mentally damaged by the death of one son and blames her second son for everything.

If this is not enough, there is a serial killer “X” who is on death row and constantly reminded me of Hannibal Lector from Silence of the Lambs. Hart, a master storyteller, has produced a masterpiece. This is my first time reading one of his books, and it will definitely not be the last time. My thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Bookishfirst for the ARC of this book. The opinions of this review are my own.
