Author Justin Newland describes The Abdication as a “suspense thriller”, which I find to be an accurate way to categorize this novel. There certainly is a lot of suspense in the story, and that is no surprise given Newland’s history: this is not the author’s first rodeo, having published several novels before this one. Newland certainly knows how to layer the drama in the narrative so the reader has several components of tension to look forward to.
