Helpful Score: 2

I have read Gregg Olsen's "True Crime" books and thought he was/is an excellent writer in that genre. This was my first of his fiction novels and I have to say that he's great in this genre too. In fact at times I felt I WAS reading non-fic. It's impossible to put the book down after reading the prologue. My blood curdled, and my heart skipped a beat or two. The interest level rises as the book goes on. It's all about a serial killer and the women he captures, tortures and eventually kills. But this is not just a blood and guts story, there's plenty of plot with many characters who provide interest on other levels. Olsen is an excellent writer, I'm just hoping that he won't be forced into the role of "hack" as so many good mystery writers are by their over eager publishers.
