Review: Great Psychological Thriller!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I don't know much about law enforcement. I don't know much about mental illness. What I do know is when I've just read a great psychological thriller, or a great crime drama, and this novel is both of those things. You really get a feel for the characters, and they are all fairly likeable/deserving of empathy. The longer you read, you will find yourself really feeling for these people.  Even the CK (Cutlass Killer) himself.My one critique came towards the end of the book. Without giving away too much, I was having one of those horror-movie-cringe-worthy moments, nearly screaming at the detective Marc to go to his sister's house, not call every Tom, Dick & Harry in your phone to find out where a serial killer might theoretically 'take someone, were he to kidnap them' (I am not quoting here, mind you!).That being said, I was overall quite pleased with this book, it having been a freebie I picked up. I would gladly dish out real $ on book 2, if only to pick up on where the characters (who at this point are more like friends) have left off after dealing with such a horrific string of events, and if nothing else, to find out if Sam and Marc are ever going to pull themselves together and save their marriage! :)
