Constant Action Pits Detective against Killer … But You Pay a Heavy Price for the Drama
I won’t need a spoiler to illustrate the type of action in this book; the synopsis will do fine. “But, when his black Labrador suddenly runs upstairs and comes down with a finger in his mouth, Ben knows he’s not making it to school today at all.” That murder …
Hit the Road Jack (Jack Ryder #1) was a good read by Willow Rose. On Monday morning Ben should be in school but his parents are still asleep after a night of drinking a lot. Ben waits even though he knows that he’s going to miss the field trip to the zoo. But his dog runs up the stairs with a finger in his mouth. Detective Jack Ryder gets a call …
I’ve read two of the Jack Ryder stories and I’d like to read more about this character. I find these two books well written, the characters well defined and they and their situations highly believable. I’m usually not attracted to Willow Rose books because horror is a genre I don’t like and would normally avoid. I have, however, on the experience …
Great read! Willow Rose is one of the best and you will find it hard to put the book down.
horrifyingly effective detective story
Jack Ryder is a detective whose wife has left so he has a condo near his parents’ small motel in Florida. He’s trying to solve a spree of murders and missing people. The story moves back and forth between present time and the past, but it’s easy to follow.
It’s well written and suspenseful. I listened to the audio version. The narrator does a …
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book. It did take a little bit of getting use to the story because it jumped around in time and characters, so kept you on your toes but once I got use to it I enjoyed it and it did all come together in the end. There are a number of suspects and twist in the book and you have to concentrate to …
The bad thing, I own six books by Willow Rose. This is the first I had read and probably the last. Just not good.
The characters aren’t real and not at all likable. Improbable situations. Whiny women and whiny men.
This is a fast paced murder mystery that pulls at your heart strings and pulls you into the desperate hunt for a psychotic murderer. Detective Jack Ryan is a single parent of twins, that is pulled into the search for a devious serial killer who is striking a bit too close to home. This story has a lot going on and the plot had potential, but it …

During the investigation, a popular country …
