What a great read – Rick Mofina does it again. Well-developed characters, great detail but not so much that it gets boring. Really gets you thinking about how you use the internet in this day and age. Love the fact that there is little to no bad language or hot, steamy sex scenes. Mofina makes his men manly without all the cursing and his women …
It kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see who done it. Most interesting every page. This is a great author.
Good read, not the best but I do recommend it
Rick Mofina is great!
A gruesome murder, a stalker in the on-line dating sites and an international chase with little time to prevent another murder, coupled with the irrational ostracizing of one of the few people who could help? What could possibly go wrong?
Anything written by Mofina is worth reading.
It was an interesting read with several side stories intertwined. Complex characters. Suspenseful. Satisfying ending leaving me craving more. Great story.
Great read..
It took a little while but I did get hooked on it.
This book is well written and in my view authentic. It is not full of absurdities. i will go for another if these is one by this author.
Thumbs up!
Well written with engaging characters caught in the twisted web of a deranged killer. Spell binding right to the last page. Loved the suspense.
I had a hard time putting Blood of Others down. It was a thriller with horrifying descriptions of murders by a serial killer. The characters were complex and biases and egos got in the way of cooperation to find the murderer. It left me with a feeling of doom.
Always a good read!! Love Rick Mofina’s work!!
This book was great!!!! I couldn’t put it down. The characters were realistic. The plot was spell binding. I highly recommend this book!
You can not stop once you start . Multiple stories that intertwine that keeps you wanting more and sad when it is done.
Great authentic detail and well developed characters.
Another cyber-crime novel that will make the hair stand up on your neck. I use a computer, have a cell phone, and am constantly aware of how much info could be gleaned thru electronics. AND that’s scary. This was a good gripping page-turner with police procedural sections, a serial killer who used computers to find his prey, and just enough …
