Aric Davis has yet to disappoint.I am one of those readers who likes to have multiple books opened at one time, thus being able to read each book ever so slowly, savoring them like one would do with a fine dining experience. My reading abilities are such that I Could, if I so desired, zip through a book at a fast pace, but I much prefer to take my time with them. Aric Davis' books make this a trial in patience for me.  Also, while Mr. Davis' books may very well be geared towards a younger (than am I) generation, I find his vivid imagination to be more than enough to keep my attention from wandering.In "Breaking Point", we are introduced to a Uniformed Officer who has made appearences in many of Mr. Davis' books, one Officer Dick Van Endel.  We are allowed to see just how Van Endel is moved from being an uniformed Officer to becoming a Detective. I must say I enjoyed this enlightenment; it happens to 'fit' his personality, very well. I enjoyed watching his wheels turn inside of his head as he tried to work out the crime at hand.Detective Van Endel is smart and young(ish), and his supervisors fail to see the sense in his logic. At first. They call him a "Puppy", and his immediant supervisor rejects his views straightforward at first, tries to understand them later, and eventually admits, if not to Van Endel's face at least to their superiors, that Van Endel has what it takes to be a great detective. While he was temporarily given Detective status for this case based on his ability to Look Good for the camera and doing a deed that many would look favorably on, he proved to be able to rise to the task at hand.I have read several of the reviews and note now the fact that a few people don't see how the Killer came to evolve into a Killer. To me, it is obvious. His excesive drinking caused the loss of his "Good Job", a nasty divorce & time spent in the penitentiary. He had, as the title states, reached his BREAKING POINT. The book itself gives one reason to consider our actions towards other people as well as an inside view to a man's thoughts who believes the world has turned to conspire against him. If one pays attention to Van Endel's voice you can clearly see, as he reasons it out (all the while not being aware he is Spot On!) for his boss WHY it may be that the Killer is killing for the Taste of blood, so to speak, and not for monetary gains, as suspected by the good detective's superiors.I am, indeed, a fan of Aric Davis and continue to look forward to reading his works. Thus far I have enjoyedNickel Plated(My Favorite and I remain continuously hopeful to see MORE of the hero within this book!),The Fort(my second Favorite),Rough Men(Just WOW), andA Good and Useful Hurt(VERY interesting).  When Amazon allows Mr. Davis's books to go on sale I am especially pleased and try to grab as many as my pocketbook will allow. If I were not on such a tight budget I would buy all of his works, I enjoy reading them That much.  His books are easy reading, kind of like an Easy Listening Radio station - smooth and soothing - In spite of their 'rough' topics. I can easily picture Mr. Davis' works as a bridge away from Vampires and Ghouls to True Crime Fiction for a whole generation of younger folks & I applaud him in his endevors. (If I had teens or young adults in my home I WOULD purchase all of Mr. Davis's books.)As an aside, I read this book as a whole book rather than as a series.
