Detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano catch a serial killer case that revolves around the movie industry. The many old-movie references get tedious and annoying after a while. The killings are gruesome and somehow spiced into actual VHS tapes and placed on video store shelves. The mystery is extremely complex with multiple suspicious characters and storylines. The bad guy was a complete shock to me. This revelation came completely out of left field and was very surprising.

I found the beginning of the book rather boring and slow moving. About halfway through, the action picked up and the police were actively on the chase. The author keeps you turning pages with misdirection and back handed clues. Well-written and engaging.
