Michael Hewitt, 90 Days: An Essie Openwaters Thriller is a work of fiction in the thriller, mystery, and action-adventure subgenres. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience. Following the previous adventures of our intrepid Dr. Essie Openwaters, we find this sharply intelligent young woman still a major target for criminal minds and billionaire psychopaths. Between a dangerous terrorist attack and a search for deadly stolen plutonium, Essie finds her life is constantly in danger. But where is the leak in information coming from that keeps putting her at risk? W. Michael Hewitt has crafted a highly likable and relatable heroine in the high-flying and quick-thinking Essie Openwaters. I love how Essie's heritage and work ethic feed deeply into her character throughout the tale, and it's this kind of attention to detail in the narrative that makes her feel real and makes an audience want to root for her more and more. This is especially pertinent with threats coming at her from every angle, and I was particularly engrossed in the psychological presentation of billionaire psychopath Tyrone Rettig. His maniacal operations and intensely damaged psyche are brought to life with great drama and conviction. The plot walks the fine line between sensational and surreal without ever going too far, and Essie's characterization gives it the believability that it needs to stay grounded. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend 90 Days for fans of the existing series, and the series in general to thriller and action-adventure readers seeking an original and likable central hero and a fast-paced, well-penned mystery series with lots of exciting twists.
