- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Olsen's thrillers are page-turning and twisting escapes, and this one was no different. With believable, flawed characters and enough complexity to make it feel real, this is one of those books that spins by in a flood of drama, action, and suspense. And even where there are some small bits that felt, at times, predictable, they were enmeshed in such a full picture that, all told, I really didn't mind.There's no doubt in my mind that I'll pick up the next in the Emily Kenyon series fairly soon. Absolutely, recommended.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I only put this book down to close my eyes when the toothpicks refused to hold them open any further. For me, it was that good. I loved it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is my first Gregg Olsen book. While I like his writing style, he takes too long to set up the plots, the ending was predictable, and then he throws away characters. I would give him another chance, though.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I like a good thriller, but this doesn't qualify. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either - slightly less than mediocre - not a ringing recommendation.The plot was thin & had loose ends hanging about all over the place that never really got resolved or that got resolved in unbelievable ways. I hated the main character for being such an incompetent whiner. I mean, really, you're the Chief Detective in your town & a murdered family has been discovered in the middle of the night, but rather than see the investigation through you go home to sleep until the morning & don't supervise the crime scene. Add to that the very minor (but irksome) misidentification of BB King as a New Orleans musician (he was born in Mississippi & did most of his recording in Memphis, thank you very much) & I was pretty underwhelmed from the very beginning.I persevered to completion, thinking it might get better, but it did not. I won't look for this author again.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Enjoyed this book, read it in 2 days while flying across the country. It is a fiction book about a murder that takes place in a small town close to Spokane Washington. Lots of suspense. I have enjoyed other books by this author including Starvation Heights which I highly recommend.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Great "thriller"; serial killer vs. female investigator theme. I will be reading the sequels.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I picked up this book because it was a June book-of-the-month in the Novel Ladies book group. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in this and only made it about halfway through before I got completely bored. I was expecting so much more. Nothing here grabbed me. I didn’t care about Emily, except to think that she jumped to conclusions a little too quickly to be a good detective. I didn’t care about her daughter. I didn’t care about Nick and whether or not he killed his family. I especially didn’t care about the guy who may or may not have been a serial killer, and I didn’t read enough to find out how the heck his story was connected to the rest of it. I found the writing to be uninspired, and the “timestamps” more distracting than helpful. I know this is only Olsen’s second fiction book, but someone with 10 books under his belt should be able to figure out another way to tell me it’s 3 hours later in the day. There was just no suspense here for me. I’m curious to find out what the other Ladies thought of it!
