Critic reviews

"The most suspenseful book I read all year."—Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly

"Pleasantly creepy....plotted with precision and narrated with real intelligence."—The New York Times Book Review

Good listen - Ending left much to be desired

I haven't listened to any of the other books in the series so my review is limited to only this story. This book definately kept me listening. The storyline was captivating. However, I felt that many of the characters were unnecessary to the storyline. I had also hoped for a more twisted ending, since the story placed so much emphasis on psychology. I kept waiting for a big twist that never came.

Wow! Twisted and chilling.

Masterfully told however it is a bit graphic and it's definitely twisted. I would recommend it if you don't mind graphic tales.

Great suspenseful story!

The dialogue and firm grasp on each individual personality is captivating and keeps me listening for more!

Another great Joe O'Loughlin story

An enjoyable book, well paced and well written with twists and turns a plenty, so that even when I knew who did it there was still enough suspense and I was invested in the characters to keep listening.

Love the series.

And I'm going through them in order, one by one.

But God, this guy gives me a pain with his whining, oversharing, out-of-control lack of judgment. If I were the wife, I'd have put him out with the milk bottles a long time ago.
