The
Prodigal is a book that contains many different facets and layers
in portraying the hidden tales and mixing it with a contemporary twist. The book
begins with a background scene in Greece in 1851 and a father is devastated
that his daughter is running off with a young attractive boy. The father hates
how the boy has talked his daughter into committing the worst type of sin imaginable,
and she freely chose to do so. They steal a ship called the Prodigal and this
builds the plot concerning the ship. Next, readers are introduced to the
setting on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. The book contained four main
characters: Aidan, Marcus, Ibrahim, and Molly and
their different stories are told throughout the novel.
I would recommend this amazing novel to anyone who enjoys
reading mystery. Michael Hurley is a brilliant writer in connecting all of the
characters back to each other. I was lured in by his exciting descriptive
writing style and he knew how to capture reader’s attention. I liked how he
wrote each character in a way that revealed their humanness and flaws. They
were easy to relate to and I could effortlessly recognize people’s
personalities that I have encounter in my own life and tie them back to the
story. The overall mystery was shocking and I never saw the depth and the importance
of the ship until the very end. I liked how the book composed of some Biblical aspects
positioned in the book. The way Michael described sailing made me feel as if I
was travelling along! If you’re looking for an excellent written mystery packed
novel, then read this book!
