The Reincarnationist Papers
D. Eric Maikranz
2009 · Thriller
How it reads
The Reincarnationist Papers is thriller (reincarnation conspiracy 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 an international setting, in the present day, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are identity, secrets and redemption. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It opens a series. The ending resolves happily. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.

- you're in the mood for something tense
- you want a book that pulls you through

Maybe not if…
