Full disclosure, I love this series. As usual the characters are charming, some definitely not. The characters have depth, each have some flaws, but not the standard dark and contrived flaws that seem to pervade this genre. John, is real with struggles we can identify with, because they are the struggles that most people share.
The story is very twisted and even if you think you know what happened, the story keeps you guessing to the very satisfactory ending and a ridiculously tantalizing cliffhanger!
Surprise ending, did not see it coming.
The John Jordon series are always entertaining.
I enjoy all of this authors books.
Good read. Jordan’s family play a part in this twisting story.
This is another thriller of a read by Michael Lister. Could Ted Bundy have killed the Valentine Day Queen, Janet Leigh? A thriller of a who dunnit by Michael Lister that had an ending I never suspected.
You may think you’ve figured it out… but just wait.
Always a great read!
I especially enjoyed the inclusion of “potentially true events” within the story line.
Great crime novel. Keeps you guessing the whole way. Ending totally unexpected but great! Loved the “real life” drama surrounding the carefully crafted characters. As a fan of historical fiction, also liked the tie to true reality. I hate when reviewers summarize and/or ruin a book, so am purposely not giving details. Find them out for yourself in this book; it is sure to be to your liking!
I loved this book so much I went and bought the series. A very creative way to entwine truth and fiction. Can’t wait to read the rest!!!!!
Loved to read about the Florida Panhandle and places I used to frequent.
Couldn’t finish this book.
Kept putting me to sleep,
keeps you rraddy
I liked this book.
Good book, with surprise ending. This book could very well deal with real life situation.
This book has a surprise ending that I would never have guessed. All through the book you are sure that they have figured out the cold case but in the end the twist is something you can’t imagine. If you like real detective, action packed thrillers this book is for you. It will keep you guessing to the end!
I feel used when I discover a book is just a lead-in to a series.
Fantastic. First time I’ve read this author, he’s a phenomenal writer! Great story, great characters, great all around.
