This book was provided by the author to read and reviewOne of the problems with books in Kindle format is that unless they are page enabled you have no idea if they are a short story or a long novel, this is a long novel. Although not an all action thriller it is a very descriptive read and flows well. I did get a bit confused with the time line near the beginning where the Zack the main character sees the first death and Jason is introduced it is only covering one day but by the time it reached chapter 6 and the next day it seemed that too much time had elapsed and that Zack would have told one of his friends the same day about the death. After this there is little in the way of flash back. Zack the main character is a successful lawyer and irresistible to women, and some men, but because of the way he treats all of his friends and events in his past makes him seem to me to be a very distasteful character. I don't like giving the plot away but most of this is in the first few pages. We are left with the feeling that Zack is having a mental breakdown through either drink or drugs but the theme of the deaths that Zack sees sows enough seeds to want to find out the reason and is it something more than a breakdown. As the plot develops there are a number of sub plots mainly surrounding his first girlfriend Susan, in the book, who he dumps very early in the book and she desperately, very desperately, wants him back. I was gradually drawn into the plot and wanted to know, what was the cause of the deaths Zack sees and what involvement does Jason have in the story as initially he seems to be a sub plot but in reality far more. At the end it all comes together but still leaves something to the imagination. If you like a slowly developing story which at various times is a detective novel a romance and spiritualism then this is for you.
