Let me say right from the beginning that this is full of action and twists and turns that will definitely keep the readers on the edge of their site. The violence in the book is raw and well-written. The book reads very easily, and just when you think you have come to the end, there are at least fifty pages left! Pretty exciting, to be sure.There is some mild profanity, and there is one mild sex scene. Both of these issues didn't really bother me. I can't even complain about the ending. My issues lie with the graphic violence, and this is only a personal preference. I like a good murder mystery as well as the next person. But when a psychotic killer continues to murder people (and some of the murders are pretty graphic), I get awfully tired of it. I prefer hearing about murders like this from the person who did not do it. I also would have preferred not knowing the identity of the killer so early on the book--from the first page, as a matter of fact. This is not meant to be a harsh criticism--it is just a personal preference.The characters were pretty "normal" as far as a murder mystery goes. Unfortunately, this means that there are times I would have liked a little more development of the characters. I especially would have liked to have had more detail where the romance is concerned. But I suppose that is just the woman in me.If you are looking for an action-packed murder mystery, this book is definitely for you!I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
