Review: Interesting look at cults
Rating: 4 out of 5

Some of the mystery part of this novel was a little far-fetched (bordering on science fiction) but it still held my attention and kept me turning pages to the end. I only wish the author had spent a little more time on the cult aspects since that was the most interesting parts of the story. A detective and a police psychologist infiltrate an eco-cult in order to figure out why the body of a suicide victim (a former cult member) was stolen. Having a psychologist on the team was a great way to include information about how cults work to "brainwash" and indoctrinate their members. The cult leader was appropriately charismatic and appealing, leaving most of his henchmen to do his dirty work. I liked this book well enough that I have downloaded a second one by this author. I hope it's as good!
