Die Dreaming

By Terence Faherty

Book Overview

Since the publication of his much-praised debut, DEADSTICK, Terence Faherty has established himself as an uncommonly original and compelling writer. In DIE DREAMING, he continues to redefine the mystery, as seen through the eyes of his ever-curious hero, Owen Keane--the "metaphysical detective" whose constant wonderings and wanderings bring him up against some of life's larger questions.

At his ten-year high school reunion, Keane learns that the group of friends he'd most admired all share a dark secret. But not until the next reunion, ten years later, does he uncover the sad and ugly truth about his friends, who succumbed to the temptations and expectations of their Vietnam-era age, and have been paying the price ever since.

Told with the deadpan humor, keen insight, and subtle mystery that have become Terence Faherty's trademarks, DIE DREAMING is a novel of rare accomplishment.

Customer Reviews

A moody, atmospheric read

I enjoyed this novel because of the atmosphere, although Owen Keane was a bit irritating - coming close to the kind of character that you want to slap and say "Get on with it!". There are no speeding car chases or really tense moments, but I was drawn along by the puzzle and Faherty writes well. I will definately read the others in the series.

A different sort of mystery--Faherty is worth discovering.

This is the first Faherty book I've read, and I'm online to find more of his books to read. I thoroughly enjoyed "Die Dreaming". His protagonist is imperfect and unusual, and his writing style unique and entertaining. Faherty knows how to tell a good story--and that's what it's all about.
