Another serial killer novel. How exciting. Right up there with a root canal.
All the standard elements are here, meaning this book is just a clone of every other serial killer book ever written. At least Sutter didn’t fall into the trope of having the killer commit the most moronic mistake possible, thus making it possible for even a blind man to see who he was but did, on the other hand, have Jade and her partner experience an Aha! moment where they realized who the killer might be around page 275 of this 300 page book. I figured it out somewhere around page 100.
Sutter tends to write very basic sentences and to over-explain things (like what Jade does to start a pot of coffee brewing). The writing felt stilted in many places, the sentences identical in structure to where they formed a rhythm. It wasn’t an engaging one but a monotonous one.
Had Sutter not started her series off with a serial killer novel, I might consider reading more of her books. Because she did, I won’t be back for more Jade Monroe adventures.
Kept my attention but storyline needs a little work.
Good fast read….
Really enjoyed
Hard to follow.
Good book. Hard to put down.
fast paced
Kind of ended abruptly. Plot was moving along and then, boom, story over.
Really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing to the end.
I thought it was a very good book. It kept me interested from beginning to end!
Ending was surprising. Highly recommended
Another Pape Turner, the faster the better. Kept me guessing.
