Suspenseful, tense, and full of surprises. The author very skillfully lulls the reader into a sense of knowing who's who and what's what, then...kaboom! Another surprise! The plot is solid and logical, the characters are believable and sympathetic.

Some reviews criticize the choppy translation from Italian to English, but I didn't notice any such problems. The story was so compelling that it drew me quickly through each page. "What next?" I wondered a number of times, and was never disappointed to find out.

My only disappointment is that this doesn't seem like a story that could turn into a series. The character I'd like to follow may not be strong enough to carry another book.

Oh my gosh. I cannot believe how good this book was. If not for life, I would have read this book in one setting. The characters and the story are rich.
I don't believe that anyone could guess the ending. There are so many things going on. Wow.
This book rated ten stars, but I was only able to give it five.
Reader beware, there are some parts that are pretty bloody. But what would you expect from a serial killer.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants and excellent read.

Superb Book! It made it really hard for me to find a book of this quality to follow it after I finished. The author engages the reader in an intelligent yet entertaining journey.
