first book in Ivan Ertlovs mystery series, ShangriLa: Lost Beneath the Southern Cross Pete O'Brannon Mystery Book, was an exciting, dark, and suspensefilled action thriller.
Set in the near future, the book follows New Jersey detective Pete OBrannon and the case of missing backpackers in Australia.
Filled with twists and turns, Ertlov does a great job of keeping the reader engaged and wondering what will happen next.
I was pulled in from the very beginning when the scene was set, The plot is welldefined, and the book is wellwritten and clear, It was an enjoyable and quick read and Im looking forward to reading the other books in this series.
An awesome thriller.
ShangriLa: Lost Beneath the Southern Cross is the first book of the Pete O'Brannon Mystery series, which is written by Ivan Ertlov.
The main character, Pete, is taken from an indie video game
named "Into the Dark", He is a private detective, who is asked by desperate people to solve horrible cases that take place, because the local police basically ignore them.
This is an exceptional thriller novel, It is fastpaced and the plot is captivating, It kept me intrigued throughout all the story, Although the book is based on a video game that I don't know, I felt the story is complete in itself.
It is very well developed and doesn't lack any detail, I'm eager to read the next book! There is barely any mystery thriller left which I havent read or watched.
This book is hands down one of the best I have read so far, The storyline is captivating and maintains the mystery till the end, It is unlike any typical mystery storyline and proves to be refreshing,
The story is set in Australia, the authors own adopted land, which describes the realism in the story and its characters.
All the characters are well written and nuances are meticulously included, Although the story is inspired by a video game called Into the dark, the author has done a commendable job in carving out a welldesigned storyline out of it.
The author has earned an honest fan from this book and I look forward to reading other work done by him.
I would like to start by saying that the title of this piece of work did not catch my attention at all, but as soon as I saw the cover, I decided to choose it since it intrigued me.
Without any doubts, this mystery did not disappoint me, instead, it thrilled me page after page,
The story engaged me and captivated me with its intricate plot which is really interesting but I dare to say that there are some nonsense twists making the development of the story a bit slow, but nothing relevant enough to put it down.
The storyline is full of mystery, suspense and action and left me thinking what was going to happen next.
I enjoyed this novel immensely and I highly recommend it! In a simple word, delightful!! This is the kind of book that I would read more than once.
I would recommend it to young adults who are looking for an entertaining story of intrigue, If there is something that characterized author Ivan Ertlov is how complex the twists and turns along his plots are.
I will never get tired of reading his novels, the descriptions of every landscape don't miss any detail.
And last, but not least, the character development is surprising and quite original, no doubt,
ShangriLa is a story set in the outskirts
of Australia and tells a fortuitous event of missing backpackers.
A private investigator called Pete OBrannon will be in charge of the hard quest of solving this disappearance.
Welcome to the dark world of twists and turns of Ivan Ertlovs Book, ShangriLa: Lost Beneath the Southern Cross.
The main character Pete OBannon is an interesting, semijaded, or maybe just untrusting private eye who lives in New Jersey.
When a rich woman looking for her missing daughter comes to his office asking for help, he is reluctant.
He wants a good mystery to solve instead of the “missing cat” mystery he had been facing.
But the girl that is missing has been missing for well overyears, in Australia with the police being of little help, and the woman knows his past mission when he was in a secret force something no one should know.
Hesitant at first, he eventually takes the contract because he is her last hope to find her daughter.
Throughout the book, we see the darkness of society, violence, crime, suspense, death, action, and of course mystery.
Pete OBannon is based on the authors video game character which I thought was an interesting bit of information.
I have never played the games but now I am looking into them, The author himself has an awesome background so it makes me wonder if a little bit of him is in the character as well.
The story is really captivating and the dialogue with the character is mainly inth person which was a fun change of pace.
OBannon definitely has his own way of thinking and some of the characters opinions were very strong but it made the character seem more human and realistic.
The ending was a surprise for sure but so, so good, This is the first book of the Pete OBannon Mystery Series so my interest is piqued for the next book in the series.
I stumbled upon this book on Amazon and Im really glad I did, ShangriLa: Lost Beneath the Southern Cross is the first book in a mystery thriller skillfully written by author Ivan Ertlov.
My love for bloody and dark thrillers as well as detective novels has allowed me to experience great stories, and this one is another one I can add to my evergrowing collection.
I have watched a lot of documentaries and movies about backpackers who go missing in Australia, but I have never read a book about it.
The story is wellwritten, so much so that we can even perceive the backpackers parents' and friends sorrow as if we knew these characters in person.
This story made me gasp I was unable to put it down until the final heartpounding twist.
