Book Reviews of Whodunnit (Smallville, Book 4)

Book Review: Suspenseful reading, consistent characterization.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very readable novel - both suspenseful and interesting - based on the hit TV series about young Clark Kent and his friends in Smallville, Kansas, before Kent went off to Metropolis and became Superman. In this one two crimes are played out in parallel.

First, Clark and his friends Chloe, Lana, and Pete discover a schoolmate's dead body in a pond on the boy's farm. As they investigate, police turn up the body of the boy's murdered sister. Other grisly discoveries follow, but the father remains missing.

Secondly, Lex Luthor's tycoon father Lionel is kidnapped in Metropolis. Lex has to decide whether to pay a ransom or attempt to rescue his dad, whom he hates anyway, while avoiding FBI authorities he thinks will bungle the investigation.

Both stories were interesting enough to keep me reading straight through, and as the kids investigate the murders, the question is raised whether they're connected to the kidnapping. It all
comes together to a dramatic conclusion.

This one doesn't have much science fiction, but as suspenseful escapism reading it's outstanding. If you're a serious fan of the show, this book will satisfy you like an extra episode between seasons - it's very faithul to the series in characterization, tone, etc. And if you've never seen the series, it's still good reading.
