    About this ebook

    An Entertainment Weekly "Must Read" • One of the NPR Book Concierge's "Best Books of the Year"
    "Twisty and told from multiple perspectives, this meaty thriller races to a satisfying finish." —People magazine

    "The intensity of the storytelling is exhilarating and unsettling." —Booklist (starred review)

    Twenty-six years ago Hannah had her eye shot out. Now she wants justice. But is she blind to the truth?

    Christopher J. Yates’s cult hit Black Chalk introduced that rare writerly talent: a literary writer who could write a plot with the intricacy of a brilliant mental puzzle, and with characters so absorbing that readers are immediately gripped. Yates’s new book does not disappoint. Grist Mill Road is a dark, twisted, and expertly plotted Rashomon-style tale. The year is 1982; the setting, an Edenic hamlet some ninety miles north of New York City. There, among the craggy rock cliffs and glacial ponds of timeworn mountains, three friends—Patrick, Matthew, and Hannah—are bound together by a terrible and seemingly senseless crime. Twenty-six years later, in New York City, living lives their younger selves never could have predicted, the three meet again—with even more devastating results.

      Really good writing. Similar to his first one, or his last one. Great story and great twists!
    • 4/5
      Quick read. A little advanced in mature subject matter for teen audiences (not a YA book), but nonetheless very enjoyable.
    • 4/5
      Once I began this book, I couldn't put it down. It's relentless. The tension and suspense keep on building right from the very first, and never once does the pace pick up or slow down right from where it is set at the beginning. The book skips from the summer of 1982 (in a tiny little town 90 miles north of New York City), to the summer of 2008 (in Manhattan), and back and forth it goes. The story is told from three different viewpoints, and the horrific event that occurred in August 1982 is recounted from those three different viewpoints. In 1982, Matthew, Patch and Hannah are 13 and 14 years old. They are in their late 30's in 2008, and it becomes apparent that none of the three have really moved on emotionally from that horrific event of their childhood. The only thing that made me hold back a star in this review was the ending. It just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the book. Some things are left hanging, and there was no final viewpoint or even any observations from any of the three protagonists. The ending was glaringly different from the rest of the book, and left me a wee bit unsatisfied. But the other 95% of it makes this book worth the read. It might even keep you up late at night while you finish "just one more chapter."
    • 2/5
      Puts me in mind of Dan Chaon or Jonathan Moore. The plot is complicated and has some weird elements. The opening scene, that of the shooting, is pretty brutal. Matthew comes off as sick and cartoonishly villainous. Patch as dopey, trusting and lacking in self-esteem. Yates plays a lot of things close to the vest, indicating very important aspects, but only in shadow. It’s tantalizing and good for making a compelling story. People, including Hannah, aren’t telling everything they know - not now and not in 1982. Overall it’s a tight and reasonably original piece of storytelling.So why the two stars? Because the whole way through Yates keeps beating us over the head about what Hannah did to bring this on herself. Yes friends it’s blame the victim time!We are led to understand that once again, the actions of a female are too much for a male to overcome and he’s swept away in his emotions and just can’t help being violent. Say tying her to a tree and shooting her with a BB gun nearly fifty times, causing her to lose an eye and be basically traumatized for the rest of her life. Boys will be boys, right? Oy vey. That’s pretty disgusting. I kept reading to see what asinine reason he’d come up with to blame Hannah for her own assault. And given Matthew’s staunch hatred of his father and his general not caring what anyone else thinks of him, it didn’t ring true. Not at all. I guess we just wanted to make the perpetrator the hero after all. Sound familiar?

      Grist Mill Road1982 "There, among the craggy rock cliffs and glacial ponds of timeworn mountains, three friends—Patrick, Matthew, and Hannah—are bound together by a terrible and seemingly senseless crime."(from book description)2008 The three meet again.Christopher J Yates took me for quite a spin with this novel.I did audio and had a hard time finding a stopping point asI found myself becoming very involved in the story.Time lines alternated and just when I was getting a feel for a character, Yates would open a new dimension and the character would morph into a more complicated individual and the story assumed a greater degree of complexity.One moment I was devastated and the next enriched.Dark, incredibly intense and I dare you to remain alooffrom this trio.Audio added a quality that intensified the experience for me.
    • 5/5
      Going back and forth in time with the characters made this story flow. Even with it surrounding a horrific event, the writing is descriptive and tight---easily pictured. I had no idea what was coming---only guesses.
    • 4/5
      I found 7/8 of the book captivating with twists and turns but felt cheated by the ending.
    • 4/5
      Grist Mill Road by Christopher J. Yate is a fascinating and devastating story. The crime and its perpetrator are never in doubt, but the motivations for it and the tragic path it sends its three young characters on are the meat of the story.The story begins in 1982 as young Hannah is tied to a tree by Matthew who proceeds to shoot her 37 times with a BB gun, the last one through her eye. Matthews best friend Patrick “Patch” watches in horror, frozen and unable or unwilling to act. Leaving her for dead, the friends head back home when Patch has a change of heart and rushes back to Hannah. Hannah lives, Matthew confesses and goes to jail, and Patrick lives with his own guilt.Twenty-six years later, we find Patch and Hannah married after running into each other a few years earlier in New York. Hannah is a successful crime reporter who still suffers night terrors. Patch discovers that Hannah is unaware of his witnessing of and inaction during the shooting. He has lost his job at the bank and spends his time writing a food blog and dreaming of opening a restaurant. When Matthew unexpectedly reappears in their lives, events begin to spiral until they lead to an ending that makes you wonder if it was avoidable or inevitable.The narrative bounces back and forth both between 1982 and 2008 as well as between narrators. Although the main events are known, the perspective each main character brings to them shines more light on the motivation and the personal tragedies of each character. Patrick is tortured by his inaction and the secret that lies over his marriage. Hannah is good at her job, but has agreed to write a book about her own tragedy which is proving more difficult than she expected. Matthew has tried to create a new life for himself, but he cannot forget the past even as he mitigates his own role in events in his own mind.Yates does a fantastic job of shifting between perspectives, each time changing the way you perceive events. The “what” is never the question, but the “why” will torture you almost as much as it does the characters. Hannah is the most sympathetic character, but Patch and Matthew each have complicated motivations which make it impossible to fully sympathize with them, but also allows you to see events through their eyes. The three characters move towards a conclusion that will fill you both with anticipation and dread. The conclusion is part melancholy and part cathartic. This is a book that will stay with you for a long time. Wonderfully written. Highly recommended.The audiobook is narrated by Dan Bittner, Saskia Maarleveld, Graham Halstead and Will Damron as the three main characters and narrator. They each do an outstanding job bringing to life the characters with great inflection and pacing. They help to convey not only the action but the mental state of the characters.I was provided a copy of this audiobook by the publisher.
    • 4/5
      A character driven novel that propelled me through the book. I'm not a fan of books that go back and forth in time nor a fan of different characters speaking in alternating chapters. In spite of that, I couldn't put the book down. A story of 3 teens who were participants in a horrific event in small town NY and then went their separate ways. Over 20 years later their lives all intersect and the author reveals the truths that led up to the event and ultimately what it did to their lives.
    • 3/5
      Three teenagers from different backgrounds become friends and hang out together. However, their individual backgrounds and issues pose problems, and these problems erupt into violence one afternoon in the woods. Flash forward and we meet these three as adults, two who have married but have had no contact with the third in years. Then they meet again, with even more tragedy. It was an interesting look at how the past for some people controls who they are all of their lives. The end was a little confusing and too predictable.
    • 2/5
      In my review of "Black Chalk", Mr. Yates' earlier book, I likened the story to Ravel's "Bolero" – lots of lead up to a single point.This book is rather like that too with a lot of dancing around with not much going on after the initial horrific scene. Not my cup of tea, thanks.I received a review copy of "Grist Mill Road" by Christopher J. Yates (Picador) through NetGalley.com.
    • 4/5
      Great story line and idea, keeping the thrill and the suspense alive throughout the entire read.
    • 2/5
      This one wasn't a hit for me. I kept reading because I wanted to find out exactly what happened that day, but I felt let down by the ending.
    • 4/5
      This book was crazy for me at times. When I first started reading it, the female character seemed like "Stepford Wives" and that's how I read them and how they sounded to me. I almost put the book down. Then, all of a sudden the voice I'm reading changes and she does have a mind of her own. I had the same thing happen to me with one of the male characters. I was reading it one way and then it changed. I think a lot of this was because of the fact the author would tell one side of the story, so I was seeing that character from that point of view. Then I would hear a different side of the story and my opinion and everything would change.I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It was just different for me. I really enjoyed the book a lot though. That is until the end. I did not like the last chapter. Maybe I missed something along the way, but I did go back and read the next to the last chapter again. It seemed like the author sorted out two of the characters but not the third.Overall, I thought it was a good read and I sped through this one pretty quickly.Thanks to Macmillan-Picador and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
    • 4/5
      I received a free advance e-copy of this book and have chosen to write an honest and unbiased review. I have no personal affiliation with the author. This is a very dark and twisted psychological thriller in which the reader finally learns the whole story at the very end. A dark and tragic accident occurs during the adolescent years of three young people that affect everything they do the rest of their lives. So many dark secrets. Finally after 26 years their lives begin to unravel. The author does an excellent job of keeping the reader guessing up until the very end as to what events led up to and what really happened on that fateful day. This is a well-written psychological thriller with an amazing plot and great character development. I have a lot of ‘what if’ questions and I keep wishing that the truth had come out sooner so the reader could have seen the reactions of each of the characters that were involved in the tragedy. Instead the reader is the only one who knows the whole story. Is this really the end or will there be more? ‘Grist Mill Road’ is well worth the read and I look forward to reading more from Christopher Yates in the future.
    • 4/5
      “Grist Mill Road” by Author Christopher J. Yates started off as a dynamic, powerful, intense and captivating novel. The genres for this book are Psychological Thriller, and Mystery and Suspense. The timelines for this story are 1982 and 2008. Hannah, Matthew and Patrick start off as young teenagers when a suspenseful terrible crime happens. Twenty six years later in 2008, the three characters meet up accidentally with devastating consequences.The author describes the characters as complicated, and complex. The characters all have a dysfunctional background. There are betrayals, and deep secrets that go back to 2008. The author alternates the chapters by characters, and the timeline goes back and forth. The puzzles, clues, and twists and turns stop towards the end of the book.I felt let down and disappointed at the end of the story. The very last chapter is somewhat confusing. Towards the end of the book, the character development is sloppy, something is missing. I can not bring up many of the things that concern me, because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. There are some major holes in the story that I feel the author should be accountable for, and I just feel frustrated. That being said, the first two-thirds of the book are well written, and are entertaining. I do recommend that readers of psychological thrillers take a chance and read this book to come to their own conclusions. I received this Advanced Reading Copy for my honest review. I would rate this book as 3.5 stars.
    • 4/5
      This book starts out with a really gruesome and disturbing first scene. So disturbing that I wasn't sure I wanted to keep reading, not certain I wanted to know how this story came to be. But the writing, the writing is spectacular and it pulled me fast and deep into a story that devolves in the best of ways. The more I read the more I realized I had made many preconceived assumptions reading that first scene and I continually had to keep adjusting my mindset when realizing that nothing was what it seemed. It was like having a big, tight ball of yarn you think is just one long string, only to find that when you pull on the end it's actually made up of several shorter pieces of yarn that only looked solid from the outside. A really excellent read. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free advanced copy of this book.
    • 5/5
      In 1982 in a small upstate New York town, teenaged Matthew, Patrick and Hannah were spending a pleasant summer day together. The day ended in an horrific act of violence. In 2008 in New York City the lives of the three converge again. The story is told in alternating chapters from the perspectives of the three protagonists and slips back and forth between the two critical years. It's not really possible to describe anything that happens in this book without spoiling it. The story is definitely not as straightforward as it initially appears. This book gave me whiplash, with my sympathies constantly shifting from character to character. One or more of these people has a faulty grasp of what happened in the past. One or more of these people may not even be completely sane. By the end of the book I still had lots of questions about facts and motives. There is a long, pointless segue into the evolution of a cement company, but other than that the book moves along at a brisk pace and was very suspenseful at the end. It's a good twisty book that messes with your head.I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.
    • 5/5
      This book is so incredibly complex, with so many relationships and so many emotions. Hannah, Patch / Tricky (Patrick), and Matthew all live in a tiny little town 90 miles north of NYC, and on one fateful August day, something horrific happens that will change their lives.
      Fast forward 26 years and things you thought originally don't seem to be the case anymore.
      This is a wonderfully written, complicated story of 3 lives brought together by a terrible situation, but there is so much more that is not readily apparent.
    • 4/5
      Pretty good story, with a few unexpected twists.
    • 2/5
      Until the final 10 pages I was planning to give this 5/5. Sorry but for the shitty ending it's a 2/5.

      What happened? Why? How? Please explain?
    • 4/5
      Lately I have started challenging myself by reading books that would normally never enter my “comfort-zone” reading. Grist Mill Road is a book that I would definitely consider outside my comfort zone. Also, I can’t remember the last time I read a book that was written Rashomon-style. Simply put the story was written around a singular event but with contradictory interpretations by the three people involved, Hannah, Matthew, and Patrick. Another caveat to this story was not only were there three different versions of what occurred that day, there were also past-present transitions that occurred as well.I can say that I am not a fan of the Rashomon writing style. I really had to pay close attention to the details and there were many times where I had to flip back and reference a section to see if I was keeping the story straight. Once I had all three stories straight, I had to think them through and consider all the details to get the bigger picture. It was very confusing to me and I prefer a much more straightforward approach. The nutshell of this story is that three kids are involved in a crime, with the end result being clear but the motivation behind the crime murky as all get out.With that said the story was compelling! Even with the dark subject matter and the labyrinthine style narrative I was drawn to the characters. I wanted to know what happened, I wanted to know the entire story, and I wanted to know what was happening with Patrick. At the start of the story I was in the opinion that Matthew was a serial killer in the making, what had happened to Hannah was a complete nightmare, and poor Patrick because he was just a fool for his friend choices. By the end of this story I was singing a completely different tune and my heart was broken-open for a multitude of reasons.There was so much to sift through in this story. So much humanity, personal discovery, and it showcased how a singular event can shape and change so much in a person’s life. There was even a bit of humor in this story, it was nothing overt but something about Patrick and Hannah was light-hearted and endearing while simultaneously something dark and sinister was simmering in the shadows. There were a few times while reading this story I wanted to set it down, wondering “why was I doing this to myself?!” The subject matter was not something that really called to me but I am glad that I stayed the course. Grist Mill Road has made an impact on me, and it may not be for everyone, but I will recommend it nonetheless because it is a mesmerizing piece of fiction that will surprise you with how it’s able to pull emotions from you that you would never expect. You just have to keep an open mind. ?
