Reviews
"Descent is the best novel I've read in a long time. Unlike most books that fall into the category of Page Turner, this one also falls in the category of Writing So Good You Can't Even Believe It. Johnston has a superhuman gift for watching and listening to the world and rendering, on the page, its beauty and savagery with such detail and power that the story feels almost more like memory than something read. I was so absorbed in the final incredible fifty pages that I missed my flight to La Guardia." --Mary Roach, author of Gulp "Lyrical and hypnotic, Descent is a pulse-pounding thriller of the first order. But it's also a gorgeously written, thought-provoking, and haunting novel about family, survival, and the power of a single choice. You'll be in Johnston's unrelenting narrative grip until the final page, and his story will stay with you long after it's done. A truly captivating read." --Lisa Unger, author of In the Blood "Tim Johnston has crafted a mesmerizing, beautifully written thriller that will engulf you like a snow storm in the Rockies. The grief and confusion of this family undone by loss feels absolutely, heartbreakingly ℜ the mystery of what has become of Caitlin will keep you up all night, turning pages frantically right through the spellbinding conclusion." --Jennifer McMahon, author of The Winter People "Descent is nothing short of miraculous. Tim Johnston knows secrets about families--about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons--and knows how to render them on the page with heartbreaking beauty and lyricism. Most amazing of all, Johnston does this within the context of a riveting literary thriller of the can't-stop-turning-the-page, stay-up-all-night variety. An amazing achievement." --Alice LaPlante, author of A Circle of Wives "Like a punch to the heart, Johnston's darkly addictive story about loss, hope and all the ways we struggle to survive, stuns you in a way you can't possibly forget. With writing as dazzling as fresh snow on the Rockies, and an understanding of people that makes them live and breathe on the page, this edgy, literary thrill-ride is still haunting me days after finishing it." --Caroline Leavitt, author of Is This Tomorrow and Pictures of You "Tim Johnston has managed a rare feat: a poignant, heartbreaking story that picks the reader up by the neck and never lets go. From the beginning to the surprising end, Descent is a relentless page-turner, and one of the best books I've read this year." --Haven Kimmel, author of A Girl Named Zippy and Iodine

Arrived safe and fast well package, well you know in my last feedback I was discussing where Thrift books sticks their sticky bar code labels? When this book was brilliant as it was in a nice clear book bag and the sticky label which gives me nightmares trying to peel it off without damaging the book was stuck to the outside of this bag, still in the place Thrift books needs it to be seen on the spine, but on the outside of this bag so no damage to this book super well done.
