The Truth of the Matter

The Truth of the Matter by Andrew Klavan is the Third book in the Homelanders Series. The book again takes us into the mystery of Charlie West’s last year of life which he is unable to remember. His last moment of clarity is going to bed one night and waking up a year later being tortured. He does not remember being jailed for his best friend’s murder, falling in love, and becoming a wanted criminal.

Charlie is attempting to clarify his missing year by looking for the one person whose name he can remember: Waterman. Upon contacting Waterman, trouble ensues as the Homelanders continue to close in upon Charlie. Charlie continues to struggle to remember his missing past as well as stay hidden from the Homelanders and the police.

I really enjoyed this book, and finally starting to see some clarity on what happened the last year of Charlie’s life. I think this book would really be enjoyed by a middle school aged boy, particularly one who is interested in non-stop action. The book is continually going, and there is never a boring moment as we are brought along with Charlie on the roller-coaster his life is turning into.
