A favorite for political thrillers

Author Matthew Becker’s debut novel, “Run” set the pace for what is quickly becoming a favorite for political thrillers. Where the first in the series saw readers hunting for a missing Veronica Walsh as her husband Ben maintained her innocence, this second in the series dives deeper into Veronica’s new normal.

With Veronica back, Becker gave readers what we so desperately craved, providing us the opportunity to hear Veronica’s story, her perspective, and her point of view after her past and secrets were shared with the world in book one. Immediately we are put back on firm ground as we begin to navigate her life after. Struggling to prove to the public, and her own family, that the past is no longer who she is, Veronica and Ben’s relationship is on remains shaky. Uprooting their family, seeking anonymity, and losing her job finds the Walsh family in turmoil. Yet, as Veronica takes on the role of private investigator, continuing to put her family in danger, Ben must once again evaluate the woman he married, and mother of his twins.

Mikaela, Veronica, and Detective Emilia Brown drive this story as Becker intimately weaves each of these women together. When Mikaela approaches Veronica for help with the disappearance of her husband, Tony, neither woman anticipated the sticky web they’d be entering. As characters new and old pop up, the fear, terror, and suspense of “Don’t Look Down” keeps us on the edge of our seat. From serial killers, their notes, the edge of the world, and the edge of the bridge, Becker is no stranger to drawing us in. With his gripping murders, thrilling mysteries, and political underpinnings, the Alexandria, Virginia and Washington D.C. scene is the perfect setting for the disturbing antics within to play out.

As Veronica once again finds herself in the cross hairs, Becker dangles his readers on the precipice as the puzzle slides into place. Leaving us with a final hook, readers are left anxiously awaiting Becker’s next installment in the series.
