I’m glad this book can be read as a stand alone and still be enjoyed. It sounds like a great thriller and I appreciate well-researched books. Realistic details add depth to a story and make it more fun to read. I like when authors care enough about what they are writing to do the necessary research to write a quality story. Thanks for your review!

I love a good crime novel and I definitely will be checking this one out! I especially like how the plot is tight and fast-moving and also how the author is able to vary his writing style and sound completely different when conveying the voices of different characters. This book sounds superb. Thanks for your review!

I have never read a crime thriller. This book sounds exciting. I like how you can read it as part of the series or as a stand-alone.

This was a well-written story, I have to say. What made it even better was how the author was able to write in many different styles. You could almost think that the murderer's blogs were written by an entirely different author. It was so original, creative and fresh. All credits have to be given to the author for his great storytelling skills. The main story was also narrated systematically and was full of suspense. I could never have guessed who the ‘perp' was. I was simply rendered helpless and had to wait for the narrator to spill his own secrets.
Writing in different styles and voices believably is quite impressive, and it must not be an easy feat to achieve, but it enriches the narrative very much.
I love a good thriller, especially one with a strong female character.
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review. I'll be reading this novel, for sure!

This crime thriller about a cunning serial killer boasting about his deeds on the web and throwing of detectives coming after him with a diversion sounds both suspenseful and well-written. It's a bit too dark for me, but thanks for the review.

Thanks for the insightful review! I enjoy crime novels most of the time. This one sounds like a good read based on your review and the sample I read. If I enjoy it I will have to check out the rest of the series! I also like it when crime novels are a series because I can get to know the main characters and almost feel as if I know them personally when I start another book in the series! I'm sure I will enjoy reading this one!

I usually keep away from crime/murder mysteries. However, the author seems to have well woven the story. Thanks for the great review!
