This sounds like a great story! A man who takes the law into his own hands in his quest for justice.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller novel following a character known as the Attunist that chose to make society more peaceful by eliminating drug dealers and terrorist organizations from society. However, this leads to a large group pursuing him and everyone he cares about. Will he be able to succeed in his goals? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Of course trying to make a society peaceful is a great premise. It’s nice that it’s also a thriller. Congratulations on book of the day!

Thank you for your review. I will take your recommendation but I shall begin by reading Book 1 of the series. The overall plot sounds interesting. Clash of ethics always present great challenges and this should be thought-provoking.

I do love crime thrillers, especially ones that have to do with detective stories, as they are full of suspense and have many twists and turns, and The Attunist seems like one of them. I love how The Attunist chooses to make a change and do good despite being labeled a serial killer. Nice review.

I like a good crime thriller and sampled the book. The author's recap of the first two books was unsatisfying, and I would rather read the first two before reading this one.

I may pass on this one, but the review was well made. The Attunist was brave for daring to fight the evil deeds of this world. Congrats on BOTD!

*The Attunist* by Gary B. Haley Is the finale of a series of three books. The books are based on some true life events and seem to be very interesting. When is it okay to break the law for the greater good of society? Who decides? These questions are asked by the protagonist in this series and I suspect the reader ends up rooting for breaking the law for the common good. These appear to be really interesting books. Thank you.

Gary B. Haley captures in this novel the sad but true fate of most honest people of goodwill. Just like The Attunist, people who desire the common good and a society that is prosperous and livable are sometimes labelled evil and subjected to all sort of dehumanising treatments.

This book seems to have a great storyline and it's truly impressive how the Attunist makes a positive impact on society. I would love to read this book to know how the author was able to get through the trouble. Congrats on the BOTD.

This book describes the main character who chooses justice above all, but because of his determination he is branded as a serial killer and he chooses a life that risks his life.

"The Attunist" by Gary B. Haley is book about a real-life event that was experienced by the author. This story encourages people to do good and those that are persecuted for living a crime-free life. The Attunist chose to focus on a life that risked his own life because he hunted down people that created problems in society like drug dealers and terrorists. He became a serial killer but only killed bad people. As a result when the government found out what he was doing he became a hunted man by federal, state and international authorities. The criminal organizations began to hunt him and anyone close to him. Very good review.

Interesting perspective. Did he really make the world a better place? He was still a murderer. I'm not sure this book would be for me. It sounds a little grim.

Wait, a real-life event experienced by the author? He is the one who labelled as a serial killer? He chose to put his own life on risk. What was his actual job, tho? I think pursuing justice by killing the bad people for a peaceful society is not ideal. Even though they deserve that punishment cause law don't do justice sometimes. I don't know. Thank you for an honest and detailed review.
