1st in the Patrick Bowers series. I enjoyed this book. It had great characters and killers. The intricacies between the murders and the suspects kept me guessing. Pat is an interesting conflicted lead and his step daughter is in the background as he tries dealing with her and a recent death and trying to solve the murders. Rounding out the team is fellow agent Ralph and newcomer Lien-hua who work the case with Patrick. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series ( )

A good twisty page-turner! ( )

A roller-coaster ride of a thriller with a very interesting true backstory. I think it will make a very good movie. ( )

This is a fantastic, fast-paced thriller.
The characters are multidimensional, the antagonist is sadistic and creepy, and the real-life investigation elements are intriguing.

If you're looking for a thrill ride that will keep you engrossed to the final page, you've found it. ( )

This isn't usually my preferred genre but I got a free download for my Nook from Barnes and Noble and then found myself hooked. Some of the plotline seems stretched, even for this type of crime thriller, but I kept reading and now want to read the others in the series. I suppose it's a nice break from the heavy duty thinking literature or historical fiction I tend to like. I'm all for books that entertain! ( )
