review 1: Meyer has created a really awesome villain here. He draws you into the killers’ mind in the very first chapter and doles out more at a rapid pace. A fast moving thriller with a likable protagonist. De Sade, you have to love it! The only thing that tripped up his NYPD cop persona is that in the US we don’t measure body weight in stones. But never mind, this moves so fast you hardly notice. It twists and turns with evil intent. Delicious and slick. A great thrill ride from a really good writer.
review 2: I read this as a train-busting book. Something easy to read to keep me occupied. I think I need to give up my need to finish a book once I start it. This was awful. Sloppily written and full of arrogant, misogynistic themes that are thrown in your face at eve... morery page turn.The premise is a serial killer who turns out to be a russian mafia gangster. The cop, Gabriel, involved in hunting him served time in Afghanistan, and there's flashbacks to his time hunting the Taliban. This could throw up questions of the moral dilemma between kill and be killed, but unfortunately Meyer seems to see this as very black and white. There is little remorse by Gabriel for his numerous kills, and he is painted completely as the 'good' guy vs. the 'bad' guys. His new FBI partner, Faith, is basically a fit bird. Though completely capable, she is painted as a pretty woman, who needs protecting.Although easily read in a few hours, I wouldn't bother. You can never get them back. less
