I picked up Heron Park thinking it was going to be a typical police procedural, but it was anything but. A sadistic killer is on the loose and a great cast of characters are brought in to hunt him down. The characters are well drawn, the plotline is strong and the book is easy to read. What's not easy to read are the scenes where the author puts you both inside the head of the killer, yet also allows you to feel the abject fear of the victims. To allow the reader to get inside the head of both, and literally experience what they are going through, is testament to the ability and skill of the author.I won't lie. The scenes with the killer are terrifying - they're gory, they're graphic, disturbing, and chilling. There were moments I had to put the book down because I had to take a breath. The whole last half of the book moves fast and the question of "who" the killer is had me guessing the entire novel. This is a well written thriller worth the read, just don't read this before bed!
