Full Wolf Moon
Lincoln Child
2017 · 244 pages · Thriller
How it reads
Full Wolf Moon is thriller (creature thriller, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in the wilderness or at sea, in the present day, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are survival, nature and secrets. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 244 pages it's a quick read. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
