I purchased this book on a whim but really enjoyed it. A combination of the storyline, narration and character development made this an enjoyable listen. An added bonus for me was the location, having grown up in Philadelphia the constant reference to my old stomping grounds allowed me to visualize most every setting. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I live in the Philly area and enjoyed the book very much. It made me laugh out loud one second and had me weeping the next. Scott Brick, as always, did a great job. I can not beleave some of the bad reviews I have read, I enjoyed very much.

I liked this book it was interesting and it kept my interest. I would recommend it.

This book seems to me to be a writer pretending that he is an author. Did all of his friends write reviews? It is an overly inflated plot with sinister dum-de-dum-dees. I generally like Scott Brick, but even he couldn't entertain me with his pious reading of evil intentions. The police, newspaper guys, lab people are all seedy and less than admirable. Not good at all! Everyone has different tastes, but what are they thinking in giving so many stars?

I read most of the positive reviews before buying this audiobook and unfortunately, I would have to agree with the one negative review I saw. Not only is it riddled with cliches, I found the prose overly dramatic and wordy. At times throughout listening I experienced deja vous - the author borrows ideas from stronger writers and changes them just enough to hide them from the casual reader. I wonder if he's a big fan of Thomas Harris.

I actually rolled my eyes and groaned out loud at one point near the end. Still, I have to admit I did finish the book (can not say that about all of my purchases on this site), if only to enjoy the rollercoaster of prose. (see? His melodramatic way of writing is rubbing off)
