The Baltimore Sun calls this author a cross between Thomas Harris & F. Scott Fitzgerals, and this book shows the rare combination of styles. A winner.

A good read, bogged down in places but still worth it.

Nice introduction to a sharp series of psychological police procedurals set in Mobile, Alabama. Great killer, strong characterizations and a good twist at the end... everything I like in a thriller.

Very good writing for a first time author. Strange but spell-binding story...a little on the supernatural side but appropriate to the story. Would recommend keeping the lights on if reading at night. ;o)

First book in the Carson Ryder/Harry Nautilus series. One of the better entries in the psychotic-serial-killer genre. Kerley actually spends more time on character development than the slice-and-dice which makes for an extremely well-written suspense novel.

A thriller with a psychotic killer. Lots of forensic and psychological detail.
