One Sentence

I’ve always wondered how writers of thrillers can write

A single sentence with words positioned just right

To send a shiver down your spine

Chilling you to the bone such that you find

Yourself riveted to their writing, hungering for more

The book in front of you seems better than anything you’ve read before

*

A cliffhanger of a sentence that unsettles you

Words that describe something too sinister to be true

A curveball that takes you by vehement surprise

In such a way that you feel the adrenaline rise

A sentence that sends your sympathetic system into overdrive

To finish the entire book in one session you strive

*

A sentence, that can the entire book define

Books with clever sentences I am trying to find

One thought on “One Sentence

  1. Have you read anything by Harlan Coben? I love his books. Elmore Leonard I like for his snappy dialogue. No offense if you don’t like them. My son and I swap books by both authors. I read for entertainment and these authors keep me reading with great storylines.
