Summary: Great book! Waiting for Author's next effort!
Review: Recommended to me by a friend who reads at least 40-50 books a year,(I read only 30), this book was certainly one of the top five spell-binding books I have ever read. As much as I have enjoyed the James Paterson books I felt this book was a cut above. Exciting story, excellent characters, jumps around in time without losing you, this book has it all. My only complaint is where is the sequel!!!!

Summary: Hometown touch adds to murder mystery.
Review: Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania is an offbeat location for anything...including daily life. But there we are, complete with serial killer! I originally read this book because of its local interest but couldn't put it down because of my interest. The story is fast-paced, absorbing, and chilling. Computer details ring true, as do the descriptions of my small hometown. The main character, Jay, is especially well-drawn as she evolves in her own "serial" pursuits. I've been looking over my shoulder since I finished it

Summary: Excellent thriller, wryly referential to _Silence_
Review: This book starts out with a wry reference to _Silence of the Lambs,_ and the in-jokes about _Silence_ are scattered through the book, as Special Agent Jay Fletcher (short for Janet, a name she doesn't care for) of the FBI matches wits on-line and in real life against several serial killers. The references to computers date the book somewhat (486s have not been state-of-the-art for some time now, to put it mildly)but the book brings up valid questions about privacy on the Net, as well as the rights of accused criminals vs. the rights of the public. If Jay Fletcher weren't fictional, I could probably fall for her.

Summary: Ok Effort
Review: This is a Fun Book, I wish some more of this old west justice was used today. Ok so the story is a little predictable, but it is entertaining. The book moves fast and is easy to read. There is some violence that is graphically detailed. The characters are developed enough for the book to work. This is not War and Peace but a light summer read that will keep your mind off other issues for a few hours.

Summary: A good read but hard to classify
Review: This really isn't a mystery in the normal sense. You know whodunnit but trying to figure out how makes it enjoyable. Some readers might be disturbed by the graphic descriptions of the serial killers actions. I wonder if the author is a publicist for the Tobacco Institute. Smoking is glamorized with no relevance to the plot

Summary: Good, Almost Great
Review: This was a good read. I would've given it five stars if it didn't have the Killer Webboard and meeting thing. Not very realistic. Most serial killers don't have the mindset to interact like that I don't think.But it was a good book, no doubt about it. Me for, I'm someone that likes extremely realistic type fiction. Like -Killer On the Road- or -The Alienist-

Summary: Great first novel
Review: This was not written like a first book. Page turner and will ruin your plans for the weekend. Prepare to settle in for a fast ride.

Summary: This cannot be a new author!
Review: While I was enthralled by reading this book and it's sequel, I cannot believe this is a new author. What I would like to know is when we will find out when the real "A. J. Holt" will stand up. This novel and Catch Me were both five star, a feat rarely accomplished by novelists today. Bravo!
