Leo: You’ll step out the door, prepared for a normal day. But you’ll never reach your workplace. You will vanish, without a trace.
Who is The Horoscope Writer? It’s not Bobby Frindley. He’s an ex-Olympic athlete who has fast-talked his way into an entry-level position at a dying newspaper. He’s supposed to be writing horoscopes, but someone has been doing his job for him . . .
On his first night on the job, Bobby receives an email with twelve gruesome, highly-detailed horoscopes, along with a chilling ultimatum: print them and one will come true, or ignore them and all of them will.
Working with a skeptical co-worker, Bobby investigates the horoscope writer’s true identity, but the closer he gets to the truth, the more the predictions begin to be about him. Has he attracted the attention of a cruel puppeteer? Or is it possible that, like any good horoscope, it’s all in his mind?
The Horoscope Writer ended up being a pleasant surprise. Bobby is hired as a freelance writer for the aper. He wants to be a crime reporter, instead he ends up being the new horoscope writer. When a fan seems to predict the actual future through his e-mails, Bobby knows there is something strange going on.
I did end up liking the msytery in this one. I kept changing my mind as to what was really going on. I won't spoil it because there are a lot of twists. What I had a hard time liking was Bobby. He really was not a likable character. He made a lot of decisions that I could not really get behind. Despite that, this is an instance where I could put aside my dislike of a character berceuse the mystery was to riveting. I highly recommend this one. It's definitely unique.
