Ted Dekker. This is the 2nd book I have posted from Ted Dekker, but this has to be my all time favorite. He has written many books since Thr3e, and although everyone of them has been good, I still think Thr3e is the best one yet.
...
His more recent novel Adam was good, and in some ways just as good as Thr3e. However, it lacked the suspenseful twist that Thr3e provides.
...
Thr3e begins with Kevin Parsons receiving a mysterious phone call from a man who tells him that if he does not confess his sin that his car will blow up in 3 minutes. The book centers around this idea of secret sin. The longer it takes Kevin to figure out what his sin is, the worse the threats get. Slater (the caller) continues to provoke Kevin until he cracks. He also provides Kevin with riddles to help him figure out where the next attack will be. One of those riddles is...
...
"What falls but never breaks? What breaks but never falls?"
...
See if you can answer that one. It is a 2 word answer.
...
Anyways, the end of this book is amazing. Dekker sets you up and encourages you to accept an idea for who the killer is. But then, he provides information that sends your theory crashing to the ground. He is notorious for this kind of twist. But nothing will prepare you for the twist at the end of this novel. So if you have not already read Thr3e, go buy it today. You will love it.
...
And in case you don't know the answer to the riddle, I will post the answer in a few days.
