Customer Reviews
Surprised
Surprised I really enjoyed this story , well written and such a compelling read, with a great ending… will definitely purchase the next in series .
Two Stars might be generous!
Far fetched and unbelievable plot, thin characters, over explained internal monologues, and laughably swift deductions from one of the main characters and inexplicable cluelessness from the other.
When you know what’s going to happen next before the 30 year venerated veteran agent seems to cotton on you start to suspect this is Murder She Wrote with gore, not an intricate and gritty crime thriller!
All that said, it was an easy read and it kept me wanting to the outcome of the tale even with the above!
A must read
A gripping page-turner! This crime novel delves into the mind of a serial killer, with twists that keep you guessing until the end. A must-read for thriller fans!
