review 1: Well, first of all, it was kinda okay by the first book I ever read it. I couldn't believe that Morty Jones got drunk on his job for weeks or even months from what I can tell, He would have had some help before it's killing him but he wouldn't! I feel that Morty starting to hate on Ava because she used on him and her kids & it's sound like a bad relationship on that part. Kurt was a dodo to my own surprise! I keep thinking that the Gentleman Walker on Carew Street that the other guy did that but nope, it is Kurt the one who keeps raped all the innocent womans. I feel that Kurt was a german or turks but hard to tell that apart what accent he is. I still can't believe he really loved Helen and going away for a short trip but what was he thinking in that part of story??? it s... moreeems a sneaky ones to my own part. I'm glad that Carmine is the captain but he still do his job for the most important to keep his mens to keep more work to do the the cases. He never knew that Kurt did that all that time, He would have to caught him in time but Helen got him in her new apartment just because she knew what to do with the handcuffs on her two small hands around her bedpost. The good thing is, that she shot him into his heart because she didn't loved him at the last time when he came around because she called him "pigs" so he didn't like that part then he came back to haunt her down but, she knew it was him along with that...
review 2: This is the third novel staring Carmine Delmonico, Captain at Holloman Police Department. I didn't read the first two. When I picked this book up (for $4.99, off the bargain table at my local mall book store) I had a feeling that there were previous books but it wasn't super clear. I had no idea how many came before it until I started writing this review. I rightly assumed that it didn't matter - almost always when a book says it's an [insert name here] novel, it's just a bunch of books that that happen to star the same character. A few times while reading I thought, hmm, I'm sure that would make more sense if I'd read the other book(s)...but never during important plot points. First and foremost I want to talk about the rape scenes. They were incredibly graphic and started as soon as the book did. If that's not the sort of thing you want to read, this is not the book for you. The graphic-ness of it came as a shock to me - generally you have some sort of warning about these things, even if it's just an inkling. I guess I'm used to police books having everyone show up after the fact, when everything is kind of glazed over and fuzzy. You get that something horrible has happened, but you aren't hit in the face with it. This book hits you in the face. You've been warned.So, this book has a lot going on. That's another way it was different from most police investigation books I've read (and tv shows, and movies). Generally speaking, you usually have your one crime and it's the only thing (more or less) that the police unit in question is dealing with. Totally unrealistic but not something that's ever bothered me. Anyway, in this book you've got a sadistic rapist turned murder, you have someone vandalizing a glass shop, a bank robbery, a weapons cache found at a school and a kidnapping. And that's just the crime. There's also a bunch of personal and professional issues happening both within the police department and in Carmine's home. Even with all of that going on, it was still pretty easy to follow. I had really hoped that some - if not all - of the sub-crimes would be entirely unrelated to the big case (the rapes/murders). Sadly, all but one were connected together in one way or another, although some of the connections were tenuous at best. It wasn't exactly all wrapped up in a neat little box with a ribbon and a bow, but everything fit in there more or less. I was disappointed, but it was ok. On a scale from Totally Awesome to Horrifically Awful, I'd give it a Pretty Good Boarding On Just Ok. I guess what kept me from really liking the book is that I didn't really like any of the characters. I also didn't hate them. They were just kind of there. That's a problem. But there was always something happening making it never boring. Would I read another Carmine Delmonico book? Probably not, but I wouldn't say never. less
