"McGarrity always packs a punch. He's to crime novelists what George Strait is to country music: reliable. It's a frightening match of wits between McGarrity's protagonist, Kevin Kerney, the police chief's bold (and pregnant) wife and a diabolical serial killer who only gradually reveals himself. McGarrity novels offer a welcome break from heavier reads. McGarrity, Elmore Leonard and Dick Francis fill this role in the profile of my reading habits."
"Police dramas can be rewarding, intriguing and enlightening or they can be dry, tedious and an obvious opportunity for the author to relive their police days in excruciatingly minute detail--this book was the latter. Incorporated in this basic plot of a serial killer stalking a police chief for unknown reasons (and not a very interesting reason either) is a police screwup that results in an investigation and officers getting suspended and the other daily routines of cops. Maybe there are those readers that thrive on the inner workings of police I am not one of those and all the characters that are introduced every other page are cliched and boring--theres the police chief with a heart of gold determined to save his family, a tough female in a man's world determined not to take no mess and countless other detectives, agents, investigators that occupy space and have little input in the story. There are actually two people on the force with the names Sid and Sal and though it was a short read when you finally find out who the serial killer is and his motive you are disappointed, and if you are like me just a litte frustrated you wasted two days on this snoozer. Recommended for those that want to learn what a police officer does during the day and a murder mystery that is not fast moving or intriguing. Even the serial killer was lame.."
