review 1: I really was not expecting this book to be really good, I thought it'd be an average crime fiction novel and it'll be obvious who did the crime... But it was nothing like that... ! This book just grabbed me from the start to the finish and I really can't believe the ending and th...

review 1: Spitting Devil was the first book I've read by Brian Freeman, and actually it was a "novella" since it was very short. I thought it was a great introduction for me to this author since it gave me a good idea of his writing style and, plot development, characters, and closing styl...

review 1: SPOILER ALERT: I loved the plot, and I love the Jonathan Stride series. But among this book and the two novellas (also excellent), the whole Stride/Serena/Maggie thing came and went. I'm kind of confused as to why this was even a plot twist? It never got fully fleshed out. It's a...

review 1: I'm fast becoming a Brian Freeman fan. I really enjoy the Jonathan Stride/Serena Dials series. This is the fourth book in the series, however, you could read this one as a stand alone. Mr. Freeman talks about some previous cases but not in great detail and if you know about th...

review 1: I love the flawed characters that Brian Freeman has created in his Jonathan Stride series. Jonathan is damaged, deeply damaged, and he surrounds himself with other broken people and in a way they have created a family. A family that that may not always like each other, but a fami...

review 1: This book seemed to have lost the spark that his previous works had. Though it is still very good, this one was just off a bit.Tish Verdure returns to Minnesota to write about a case that is just too personal for Detective Jonathan Stride. This book will be about the night 30 yea...
