Synopsis/Blurb: A popular priest lies dead of a heroin overdose in a Cleveland apartment, following an apparent tryst with a high priced call girl. A freelance journalist recognizes a great stow -- salacious and saleable -- in the cleric's demise...and follows it into the twisted, terrifying mind of a psychopath. While in an affluent suburb a world away, a cryptic threat written in a great poet's words appears on the computer screen of a long-suffering wife and mother. And suddenly she knows that a nightmare stands just outside her door, waiting to devour everything she loves. Because twenty years ago, something terrible happened at a Halloween night gathering of brilliant, arrogant youths ... Because it is reunion year, a time of remembrance and celebration; a time of reckoning and poetic justice. And the party is just beginning...
Murder starts from page one and gets you hooked from the very beginning, this is the type of writing I enjoy, murder first and then how it gets to that and why. This book was written in 3rd person and I found it gripping and very thrilling. There are a lot of characters within in this book that are all linked together in some way, but I found this slightly confusing as it changed characters point of view quite a lot and I had to re-read a few chapters just to keep up. this book reminded me of the Lifeguard by James Patterson and Andrew Gross which I have already reviewed here. It was a quick easy read, one that I won't be reading again as the beginning with the character changes ruined it for me. Not much else to say on this book as I didn't enjoy it all that much
Sorry is you enjoyed this book and you have different opinions to myself but everyone has there own opinions and likes and dislikes, this was one book i didn't enjoy myself.
