If you like gritty, sometimes gruesome murder novels this entire series will satisfy the "blood lust". This one explored more the love/hate relationship between Carson the detective... and Jeremy...his killer, formally imprisoned, brother. The entire Carson family has secrets that they are more than happy to have stay hidden but were bound to come to light. In many ways it was a lot like [Silence of the Lambs]. It's twisted tale...for lack of a better word...but you must read on to discover all the surprising revelations which this reader hopes will be built on in the next book. ( ) I always enjoy Kerley's books, and this was no exception. Detective Carson Ryder is called from Alabama to New York City after a woman is found murdered and an "in case of emergency" video urges them to contact Carson. Carson's brother is a serial killer who murdered four women before being caught and imprisoned. Now he's escaped and it's up to Carson and the NYPD to find him. I really enjoyed this book. Jeremy is a fascinating character, and we learn quite a bit more about him in this book. Carson is a sympathetic and likeable character torn between his gratitude to his brother and his desire to be free of him. My blog post about this book is at this link. Another satisfying outing for Alabama detective Carson Ryder. This time, Ryder is transplanted to New York to help solve a series of gruesome killings apparently committed by his crazy brother Jeremy. Both Ryder and Jeremy are very well written, engaging characters who draw you into their world. A suspenseful, interesting read. no reviews | add a review
