Kevin Clark was still suffering from the effects of the bullying he endured during High school. This, plus his mother dying when he was only 15 have manifested underlying mental problems. Kevin thought that some people really needed to be taught a lesson in how to treat other people and maybe he was the one to teach them.Gisele was unhappy with her life. Her marriage had started to collapse. She was certain her husband was having an affair. She’d had a bad day which included yet another argument with that grocery boy, Kevin. She’d really had enough of his bad attitude and today she had let him know.It’s the small details that make a good story great and Dennis Lively had them all covered.Right from the start you know who the murderer is and why he did it. But the thing is how is he going to get caught when he has covered his tracks so well?The suspense was so full on I found myself subconsciously holding my breath at times.Kevin’s character is well developed with small diary entries at the top of each chapter. Lively has done well to get the reader into the mind of the schizophrenic and his way of thinking and analysing situations.The similarities between David and Kevin’s lives were very subtle but still easily picked up on. Both had lost someone that was very dear to them. Both stood out from the crowd, David with his size and Kevin with his Punk look. Both had the stardom of being sports stars for a short while. Both sports careers ended with a severe leg injury which still left them in pain.This was a great crime thriller and you could easily read it in one sitting. Actually you will “want” to read this in one sitting.
