So this book...at times it was really quite good - the early parts about Angelo and Nell seemed like they were written by a completely different author they were that good. As to the rest of the book, pretty boiler plate psychopath/troubled detective sort of stuff. This book is very graphic - as in [a:Chevy Stevens|3163298|Chevy Stevens|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1379458276p2/3163298.jpg] graphic so if that sort of violence bothers you, I would shy away from this book. I went with the third star instead of just two because of the passages that were really well written- without those this one would have been a solid 2 for me. The fact checking about how far it is from St.George to Logan Utah is also waaaaay off - those sort of easy to check details are crazy making to me. This is obviously the first in a series; I will not be reading anything else by this author.

Also, the author has one of the top 10 cheesiest author photos of all time - I would change that if it were me!
