Books by John Hart
The Unwilling
by John Hart
***Shortlisted for the 2022 CWA Gold Dagger***
This is one of two books on the 2022 Gold Dagger shortlist set in the Vietnam War era. John Hart is a good writer and The Unwilling draws you in. You will connect with the main characters, two brothers, and want to read on to find out what happens next. That said, the plot has a disconnected feel, almost as if it's two books instead of one. If you haven't read John Hart before, it might be worth turning to some of his earlier books, like Down River, first.
