Paperback.
This might be a few years old but this certainly felt recent in its writing style.
It had a realistic storyline (albeit a little gruesome in parts) and the characters and their relationships were likeable.
I’ll certainly be reading #2 in the series.

I was completely sure I knew who did it (although initially it was just a guess). I kept going along chuckling to myself as it followed that path. Then the killer was revealed and I was incorrect. Well done!
I will read more of this series - good character development for the first book in a series - not too much, just enough to keep it interesting.

Good for its genre. I liked it more because it was set in Philly and I was familiar with the setting I think. It was a little twisty.
There is nothing I love more than a police procedural that draws you and keeps you there.
I enjoyed all of the twists and false leads in the book!
Richard Montanari tells the gripping tale of a hard knock homicide detective and his brand new rookie partner. The cliches are evident but that didn't stop the book from being compelling. I really enjoyed the dialogue here because it wasn't cheesy and oft-putting like a lot of similar types of books. The characters were well developed and the antagonist was grotesquely evil. There were a couple red herrings involved in the mystery that had me guessing. The ending didn't go how I expected. Overall, this was a really good crime thriller. I look forward to reading more from Montanari.
Really good read
The story in this is really well written. The two main characters are nicely written and you learn about them as the book goes. Really well paced and for such a difficult topic it is easy to read

I don't usually like crime stories, but this one was really enjoyable. Not as slow as some other thrillers/crime stories.
YIKES. Great story but SO VIOLENT!
Kept me guessing... He did it. He did it. He did it.
Great characters. But very graphic violence.
