I loved this book I started it two days ago and just finished. I found the book to be well written and fast paced, I did wonder where the story could go when the killers were discovered rather early but the twist was throughly enjoyable. The characters was great and you really good a sense of good and bad I was on team Beautyman. It was refershing to read a book with a police detective that bent the rules a little without having to spend his time alone drinking to gain insights into more his more challenging cases. I will definitely be looking out for more of this authors work. I was really blessed when I saw Erik asking me to review his book. My favorite genre is mystery, crime, thriller, suspense. Once I read the synopsis of this book, I was hooked. I was hoping beyond hope that the ending of this book would not leave me hanging like so many books I have read in the recent pass. I read the 1st chapter of the book, and by the end of the first chapter I was laughing so hard my family was wondering what in the world I was laughing at! I then went and explained what I was laughing about and then they too were laughing as hard as I was. I then told my husband that this book was priority number one (1) because I just had to know what else was going on within the story.Detective Beautyman had me. I liked how this detective thought, how he worked, and how he was willing to forgo everything to solve the case at hand. I personally did not like Sandy Ewson, which I do believe that Erik did very well in his writing to make us not like him.I must talk about the ending. Since I mentioned at first that some of the books I have read recently have been...well...for lack of better word....lacking. Oh no, not this one. Erik had us reading every word till the end. It was such a thrilling ending. I love how the case ended and I like how Erik left it open for another Detective Beautyman tale. I cannot wait for the second one coming, and the greatest part about reading this on the Kindle, you get the very first (1st) chapter of his next book: The Marinara Murders.The story that Erik winds within this novel keeps you guessing what is going on and who-done-it. The way he writes keeps you guessing. He winds the stories of everyone involved extremely well. You are not left wondering "Why is this character in the story?" "Where does this character fit in?"The dynamic of all the characters are an awesome thing to read. I am so happy that I decided to read this wonderful book. It is everything I am looking for in this type of genre.****I was given a copy of this book for an honest review****
What do You think about The Saints Go Dying (2010)?
Just didn't connect with the characters. Okay considering it was an inexpensive Kindle book.
