review 1: I'm really liking this series. It's a bit off-kilter, and the dynamic between the two detectives is interesting. I can tell there are long-running plot threads that will carry forward into future books, so that's interesting too. The biggest issue I have is that the lead detective, 'Darc' - who is autistic (Asperger's) - doesn't really behave or act or think like anyone with Asperger's I've ever known. It's a spectrum, and no two Aspies (or autistic people) are exactly alike, and I appreciate the author's attempt at explaining Darc's thought process and how he sees the world. But, I've just never seen an autistic person as self-aware of the differences between the way they think and the way others do, as Darc seems to be. Either way, it's a pretty good read and the mystery... more development is solid.
review 2: Ok this book is really good mystery. It is about two detectives who are trying to catch a serial killer. The killer is repeating the 9 circles of hell. There is a huge twist at the end that you don't see coming. The whole book revolves around a little girl who lived. She is the only one that lived. The detectives work with the girl to catch the killer. The only problem is she is so traumatized that she won't speak so they communicate with her with drawings or nonverbal communication. It starts out busy with a murder and you are wondering what is going on. This book is very graphic but it has to be based on what is going on. If you like mysteries then this is a must read for you!!. less

Overtly grisly, poor execution of characters, overall a fairly men read.

Great story idea. Not well written. A little sophomoric.
