I purchased The Camera Guy expecting a good novel based on an intriguing premise - a forensic investigator with the unique gift (or curse) of being able to see the victims' spirits at the scene of the homicides, allowing him the details needed to solve the crime.What I didn't expect were the unusual twists and turns that the author, Richard Goodship, raced me through as the story was laid out, got knotted up, and then unraveled itself to expose the darkness that embedded itself in the corners of every page -  a demon that destroyed the existence of everyone and everything it touched.Every scene, every character, every feeling was genuine and entirely viable.  I felt myself slipping into the skin of the characters and experiencing each beat of their hesitation and fear.Bill Walters, "The Camera Guy," is totally real and totally vulnerable.  He isn't some hero made out to save the day.  He is just an ordinary man, with an extraordinary gift, who sets out to save his own part of the world, and to perhaps set his own demons free.I fell in step with the reasons why Bill Walters turned his back on his religion, and followed in awe as the author had me questioning the validity of the religious beliefs so many have held true.  For me, it blasted open a whole new way of thinking.The Camera Guy had more than enough suspense and gruesome detail to keep me reading into the early morning hours - and the experience was well worth the lack of sleep!Bravo to Richard Goodship!  I can't wait to get my hands on his other work!
