For full review - The Limit of Books Does Not ExistThis is a book that will not be for everyone. This is a book that is scary and horrible and upsetting. Im a huge fan of mysteries and thrillers and there were nights that I couldnt read this novel before I went to sleep because I didnt want to go to sleep upset. Its a tough, tough read.The first thing that I loved about the novel (and the series) is the cast of characters. Each character is flawed and scarred both physically and mentally. PutReview of "The Face of Death" (German: "Der Todeskünstler")In Cody McFadyen's second novel protagonist Smoky Barrett is starting to slowly regain a grip on her personal life.During the process of removing some of the personal belongings of her deceased husband and daughter Smoky is being called to a crime scene. This in itself would not be too unusual, were it not for the fact the sole suvivor of the crime is asking to speak to Smoky in person.As it turns out that same survivor is as 16 years
Dear reader,They say you should beware of strangers, and oddly enough,this statement has never been more true or pertinent than in this tale!! Avenging past wrongs,the Stranger,an evil and sadistic serial killer,seems to have targeted sixteen year old child Sarah Langstrom for no apparent reason. Found covered in blood,and threatening suicide,in the front garden of her foster parents' home,we wonder what Sarah has done that necessitated her witnessing the macabre slaying of her latest foster
With just a few pages to go, I have found the most believable characters to be the two labrador retrievers who make a brief appearance.
This is part 2 of Shadow Man and yet another grisly case for Smokey Barrett. This is one of the darkest books I've ever read and just when you think it couldn't get darker....it does. I cried during this one. Excellent writing, took me right into the story right away. Love it. But read with caution.
Another great Barrett book in this awesome series. I enjoyed this fast read but felt it wasn't as good as the others in the series. Hope the rest ate better.
