Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-23 00:00:00 Thomas Ferguson I hate to say this was a bad book. It wasn't downright sucky, but it was uninspiring and had a lot of flaws. The plot isn't all that original. Serial killer suspenses are rather common, along with the God-complex serial killer. It's been done before, many times. All that just made the book typical. Aside from that, the plot was just flawed, and the development average. I knew early on who the killer was. It was glaringly, blatantly obvious. The first major scene with the killer and it was like a blinking red light. And the author did nothing to cast suspicion elsewhere. So you spend the whole book knowing how it's going to end up. Add into that, the author isn't that great with procedural aspects of FBI - one point being that personal relationships between agents in the same command is generally frowned upon. And there were many other points that were just handled badly, details not dealt with, predictable events, etc. As for the romance, it was seriously lackluster. There was only the barest blip of chemistry. There's a general attraction when Nick and Charley first meet, then for like 200 pages, nothing. Supposedly there were feelings building, but if there were, I don't know when. It was like they ended up being two people who worked together and became fuck buddies. The author just didn't build the emotional level between them and I felt no connection to the romance. All in all, just a poorly developed and written book. Grammatically and stylistically it wasn't bad, but the storyline and the characters and relationships just didn't have it. Not worth reading.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-15 00:00:00 Pablo Pablo I like a suspenseful serial killer mystery. This book was pretty good in that regard, although I guessed the murderer's identity a little too soon. I thought that the romance aspect of this book was a bit superfluous, though.
