review 1: When a book has several editing errors....allude instead of elude, parameter instead of perimeter, course instead of coarse...I will overlook them if the story is well done. It wasn't in this case. The plot could have been a decent one in better hands. Instead, it became trite...not even a good episode for a tv crime show. The author shamelessly plugged his book about Steven Stayner, in a totally irrelevant aside. Much unnecessary garbage about one character's apparent prejudice which didn't advance the plot or develop the characters. The top FBI agents continued to be clueless as late as chapter 34, with the smart young whippersnapper agent having to patiently explain once again how the killer was after people named for apostles. Don't waste your ... moretime.
review 2: THE APOSTLE MURDERS is a refreshing change from homicides motivated by greed or revenge or sex or any of the other usual grinds. The reader is privy to the thought processes of the villain and the procedures used by law enforcement to identify, locate and stop him. Most of the twenty or so characters peopling the story were necessary, although occasionally two might have been combined to make the story easier to follow. That's a suggestion I've heard, understand, and seldom follow. I usually am reading a book on my Kindle, listening to one on my ipod, and have a print book going, not all at the same time, naturally, but during the course of a week or two. Without meaning to, I often set two aside temporarily to finish the one that holds me best. I finished this one today, while the other two wait. I wanted to compliment Author Jim Laughter on a job well done.Thanks, Jim, for the unusual read. less
