review 1: Disturbance: An Irene Kelly Novel (Irene Kelly Mysteries) 4.0 out of 5 stars A story & series worthy of attention, November 27, 2013 This review is from: Disturbance: An Irene Kelly Novel (Irene Kelly Mysteries) "Disturbance" by Jan Burke.I came across this book on CD while looking through the James Lee Burke CD's. It looked interesting and it was a new series for me so I thought why no give it a try.This story revolves around Nick Parrish, a serial killer. Nick has defied the odds by escaping from prison, fleeing recapture (which paralyzed him temporarily) and the list goes on. Nick Parrish has his own fan club calling themselves the moths.Irene Kelly just recovering from PTSD with the help of her husband, Frank, feels the walls closing in on her again. The walls of ... moreher life and her unending race to avoid Nick Parrish at all costs. Then a woman's body is found naked, frozen and decorated with moths. That body was found near Irene's home. Now she is clearly being stalked by Nick.I found myself riveted to the story and listening to every word. There were some overdone, in my opinion, issues in the book but that never kept me from continuing.A good story and a series that I will be continuing.
review 2: I've been a fan of Jan Burke for a long time, but this book just didn't do anything for me. The story was contrived with too many almost unbelievable plot devices. If this were the first book of hers that I had read, I would have given up at about page 75 - as it was I slogged my way through it. The last 75 pages or so had the tempo and pace to keep me going to the end. Jan Burke is a very good writer usually, so try 'Bloodlines' if you haven't read it. less

Great story--well done. Reminded me of Patricia Cornwell but with a different set of characters.
