WOW!! I started this book and I couldn't put it down. It grabs you from the get go and you better hold on because it is a fast pace thriller. I had never read anything by this author so I hope I won't be disappinted in his other books. The creativity behind this story is spectacular. I kept guessing and guessing and was still shocked at the ending. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first book that I've read by this author and I found it very entertaining. It was an easy read and kept you on your toes trying to figure it out. Very well written, and a great thriller. I think others would enjoy this book.

Absolutely wonderful. There was a point when I literally yelled out loud about a twist so out of the blue you could have hit me with a shovel! I have never read a book by this author, but if the rest of his books are only half as good I am ready to read. I was surprised to find the book so interesting. It only took two days to read it. I highly recommend it to all thriller readers.

This is a fast paced thriller, with many interesting characters. The major problem with the book is it is a theme that has been done before (Kiss the Girls by Patterson is one that comes straight to mind). Still and all with its short chapters, twists and turns and super creepy villain it is a well done serial killer thriller. I did figure out some of the plot twists but because I cared for the main character that wasn't a problem at all. The ending doesn't quite tie everything up into a neat little bow, and I liked that also!
While hanging out in the woods near their home, three teenage girls witness a murder. In their haste to escape a backpack is left behind, and soon the killer is on the trail of the witnesses, determined to leave none of them alive. Only one of the girls escapes his wrath, and we flash forward twenty years later, where Darby McCormack is now a CSI for the Boston PD. While investigating a missing girl case Darby finds a woman hiding beneath the porch of the victim's house. Soon it becomes clear to Darby that this case is leading her back to her own past encounter with a murderer.
Despite some predictable plot lines the character of Darby was so well written and I was so invested in her that I had to continue on until the end to see if she gets the bad guy. I would love to see another book featuring the intrepid Darby McCormick, and her partner Coop, I think there may be a romance in there, though that wouldn't be necessary for me to enjoy another outing with Mr. Mooney.

I was EXTREMELY impressed with this book. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out who the killer is and what's going on in these kinds of books but this one had a great twist at the end that left me shocked. I read it in a day simply because I just HAD to see how it was going to end. If you're looking for a thriller that will keep you guessing,I definately recommend this one!
