JohnnyCache reviewed The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield
Review of 'The Apollo Murders' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I've got a love-hate relationship with Chris Hadfield. I love him because he's super-intelligent, fascinating, charismatic, handsome, nearly superhuman in every way, he made a music video in space, he's a natural educator, and it turns out that he's a talented author. I hate him - just a little bit - for all the same reasons. Jeez, the guy's perfect. He makes the rest of us look bad!
I had no idea that he wrote this book until I received it as a present, and I was immediately drawn to it. He's managed to create such an engaging story with some great characters and tons of action. At times, I wondered how realistic some of the story could be, then I remembered that it was written by a guy who has literally lived in space.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'm so reluctant to say …

I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'm so reluctant to say too much about the story. There's absolutely no part of the story that is predictable. It could always go either way.
I really recommend that everybody reads the prologue, just to get a taste. Seriously, after the first three or four pages, you'll be hooked.
