Oh, God! I love Beatles songs! I wonder what the killer was trying to convey.
You had me with the exceptional character development. I'll add this novel right away to my to-read list.
Thank you for your review!

Wow... This sounds exciting! Even the review kept me on the edge of my seat. This crime book sounds cool. You even mentioned that there are hardly any errors! I also read the sample and wanted to know more instantly.

Thanks for the review. You Say Goodbye sounds really lovable. I am intrigued by the serial killer; what's their motive? Why rape the victims, and why the messages? What mistake do they make that gets them caught?

This seems like a shockingly dramatic story for Sean and his poor girlfriend. It's a mystery but I can see that there's much more than that. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

The cover page of this book gives insight of what the book is all about. You Say Goodbye by Keith Steinbaum sounds like an action-packed crime thriller. I'm a fan of this great genre (crime thriller), and therefore, I'm adding it to the list of a must-read books. Thanks for this well-written and insightful review.

Post by Petruschka1 »

The review offers a good summary of the book. The main character Sean has a lot to deal with: an ailing music career, his girlfriend's murder and his own diagnosis of cancer. He helps in the murder investigation and makes friends with a little girl who also has a cancer diagnosis. All these elements make for a gripping story.

I love crime thriller novels and the serial killer including Beatles music adds an interesting twist. Sean has a lot to deal with before being roped into the investigation of his girlfriend’s murder. This sounds like a great read!

It looks like Sean has an interesting character development throughout the story. Murder mysteries are not my favourite type of genre, but your review makes the book sound really interesting.

I love that this book seems to have great character development along with a great plot. I'm not really interested in the life of musicians, but a serial killer who uses Beatles' songs sounds quite intriguing. Thank you for the review.

This is a really wonderful story with much difficulty to put away until you finish reading it. It is really wonderful when you bare a selfless person. I really sympathize with Sean on the death of his girlfriend but the killer must be found no matter what. Thanks for the review.

I appreciate a book that can take such a traumatic experience and someone's depressive tendencies and show that even when you are going through more than you can handle, there is always a reason to push forward and fight. Sean's will to fight and avenge the rape and murder of his girlfriend makes for a great plot to a murder mystery. Thanks for the great review!

I'm certain there are readers who will love this book. Personally, rape and cancer, particularly cancer in a child, will make me take a pass on this right now. But I agree with the Official Reviewer that the dialogue, in the sections that I read, was exceptional. Congratulations to Mr. Steinbaum on achieving BOTD.

Terrifying and intriguing all at once! Great concept and storyline, clearly shows how thought through author was with this book. Serial killers scenarios always add mounting suspense and it seems readers won't be disappointed with how it will play out. Thanks for recommendations and congrats on BOTD!
