I'm not liking this narrator as much as the one that did The Night Stalker. I also disliked that Jack gets any respect or even professional courtesy especially since he's right so much of the time. After the last book, one would think that Candy Burrell would have more respect for him. Jack is nice enough not to say "I told you so" but Burrell doesn't even apologize. I did like Valentine being in the story as well as Linderman. I liked the character of Jack Carpenter, but overall, I was disappointed in this story. A town that cuts off body parts to get money from an insurance company? Come on. And then, a kidnap victim that was probably repeatedly raped(although the book does not say so) by two men plays in her college basketball game a day or two later. I think a traumatized victim would need a little more recovery time than that.Too incredible for me to take seriously.Just my humble opinion.
What do You think about The Night Monster (2009)?
Kept my interest the entire book. Really enjoyed the style of writing.

While it is not a literary masterpiece, it certainly is a page turner.
