Great book. Great author.
First book I have read from this author. Will definitely try his other books.
As a journalist and lover of police novels, the combination of newspaper and law enforcement in this book was wonderful! It took a few chapters to get used to all the points of view from several characters. I particularly enjoyed the parts of the story told from the killer’s viewpoint.
I did not realize this was part of a series until I was about …
I was on the edge of my seat to see if they would get there in time. I enjoy this author very much!
I really liked this book and the characters. However, in the beginning it was somewhat confusing. Too many characters were introduced at once with very little development, and there were times when there were just too many words.
I love Rick Mofina’s books. They are books that you cannot put down even if your eyes are closing!
Couldn’t put it down!
