Search - Immoral (Jonathan Stride, Bk 1)

Jonathan Stride, a detective lieutenant in Duluth, Minnesota, is featured in this first novel of what, I hope, will be a series.

For this book, Freeman won the 2006 Macavity Award for Best First Novel, was a finalist 2005 Edgar Award for Best First Novel, and a finalist 2006 Anthony Award for Best First Novel. That's why I sought it out. One of the web review sites I love is TheMysteryReader.com and they gave it 4+ stars. That would be my personal rating too. Just an excellent book and very exciting author.

Great mystery from first time novelist Brian Freeman. I would definately read another of his books. Just when I thought I knew "who dun it" he surprised me with a twist!

This book was impressive for a first time novel. It didn't have a dull moment and I can usually figure it out by half way through, not this one. I thought I had it by the last ten pages and I was only half right, big surprise ending. A hard to put down book, can't wait to get his second book.

This was a real page-turner that really kept me guessing up till the very end. I picked this book up at a used book store after reading some of the cover blurbs and I'm glad I did. This is the first in a series by Freeman featuring Lieutenant Jonathan Stride of the Duluth, Minnesota police force. It's a mystery about the disappearance of a teenage girl who appears to have murdered by her step-father. But is the girl really dead? If so, did the step-father do it? Or was it one of many other possible suspects? I don't want to give away too much but I would highly recommend this one. I'll be looking out for more by Freeman.

good red...lots of twists

I have found another great author. Just what I need another series to get into, but truly this is an excellent thriller, the twists and turns keep coming and it is on the very last pages that the whole stor unfolds. This author is a thriller mastermind, I can't wait to get my hands on more of this series.
