I have enjoyed all of the books in the series and this was not an exception. Great plot!
Another great Rick Mofina book. I like how the characters develop and how the plot unfolds. A real page turner. Looking forward to the next in the series.
Well written and easy to read
This is three stories interwoven together. I can not put this writer’s books down I like following the same characters from book to book. The newspaper reported is in this onr. I do not want to give the story away but it is a good read with nice ending
I first found this author through Book Bub and have since read 3 more of his. All were great!
I couldn’t stop reading!!
Great read….
I certainly wanted to really have a go at Jason’s editor for his unfair treatment, this really drew me into the story. I had a hard time putting the book down and trying to stop reading into the early hours of the morning.
I liked it very much
The main character, a newspaper writer, not doing well, gets a handle on a murder story and must contend with editors, cops, an old girl friend, etc to get to find the real killer. It’s a good read, a bit formulaic, but still worth the time.
Always enjoy his books!
This writer is excellent in how he tells a story! One of my favs.
Not Catholic, but I found these nuns likable and understandable. As a former reporter, I liked Jason and found him realistic. I did not like his editor and would not have stayed around for him. It is a great story and the author ties it together very nicely.
Living in the PNW, I enjoyed the Seattle setting!
Wow! Another great thriller from Rick Mofina. The beginning is a little slow but stay with it as Mofina is laying the groundwork for a real head scratcher. There seems to be three separate stories going on at the same time but they do all come together and it will take you until the end of the book to figure it all out!
A perfect grave is a great-albeit scary and thought provoking-read. Rick Molina sure knows how to write terrific, edge of your seat thrillers
Rick Mofina’s story about a nun who is mysteriously murdered kept me guessing until the very end. I can’t wait to read more of his books!
Rick Mofina is consistently superb in his books. I want to read more of them Good selection. Read it for sure.
Mofina is Mofina. Always a good read.
I’m a big Mofina fan my favorite being “Cold Fear”
One thing that kept taking me out of the plot of “A Perfect Grave” was the weird way reporter/editor relationship was portrayed… if you haven’t worked as a journalist it won’t bother you at all.
And found the characters and the plot compelling and well written.
