I must admit I have not finished it as yet, but getting close. When reading, it makes you want to slap people around to wake them up to reality! Mason and his sister Eve work very well together and can’t wait to finish this book. Recommend it highly.
I finished it and purchased “Masquerade” and into it and half way-through it.
Kept me reading until the end. Interesting ending. Highly recommended.
This book read like an outline for a novel. It was very short (238 pages and 90 chapters = less than 2.5 pages /chapter average). None of the characters were likeable. The main character was hot-headed with a short fuse, the wife an ungrateful wench, the victims parents all looked for others to blame, the school principal was a drama queen, the absent teacher was a troll, the boyfriend was a loser….the daughter was okay….really the only likable people in the book were a niece who garnered about 2 sentences and a stripper/prostitute/college student.
The only character development was of the killer. The premise of the book was good. The story was just not developed.
Dang, couldn’t put this down! I’ve been an avid reader most of my life and this book and this author, one of the best ever.
A tragic must read!
I stayed up late most nights as this book was a real page turner. Two girls are missing and the almost retired police chief assisted by the FBI are responsible to find these girls. Then there is another missing girl and the detectives have no more clues and their list of possible suspects are fast dwindling. I was enthralled all the way to the last few pages when the author seemed to just want the story to end and so it was a disappointing climax. Still a good read though for people who enjoy a good thriller.
Good book from the beginning
Kept you wondering. Didn’t want to put it down.
I could ot put tis book down. It was a real page turner. The characters were easy to follow and the writing was exceptional.
I found it very interesting.
Enjoyed the ending where justice is served.
Makes you gasp at the horror of cruelty that is in the world and those that try to solve or end it. Didn’t want to put this one down. Brilliantly written page turner. Wanted to know how this would end. No spoiler alerts here. A tremendous good read if you like thrilling who-done-it stories!
Captivating!
The story was not believable and unrealistic
read this and couldn’t stop. Great book(s) and kept me wanting more. I finished all three within a couple days.
Not realistic at all.
Writing style is good but characters a bit hokey! I didn’t love the main charecter, so I would say he could be a better writer by better characters as storyline was okay but I almost stopped reading because what the characters said and did seemed off.
Not worth the effort to read.
Great read until the ending chapters. In my opinion, the ending was weak and incomplete.
The story line was great, but the book could have done without the foul language scattered within it’s pages. That turned my reading experience to a negative, that kind of language ruins a lot of good story lines I have found.
