review 1: Entertaining for what it's worth, a fun summer read but ridden with so many cliches and plotholes that it's hard to take it seriously. Predictable although it tries to be twisty. Oh well, I happened to find it in the summer home we rented and finished it up quickly thanks to its fast pace. I can't say that I recommend it since there are definitely better crime novels out there but hell Goodreads offers an e-copy for free so if anyone's interested in a fast paced, mediocre crime novel be my guest.
review 2: This book goes from 0-60 in about 3 seconds. Incredibly fast paced it rolls along at a rate of knots. You do have to suspend belief at times but this is an incredible thriller. The search for a serial killer "The Disciple" dovetails with the story of a young ... morewoman who disturbs the killer of her husband and his lover and goes on the run. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time are a whole host of other characters- who to trust? Good question! A bit graphic at times and hard to take occasionally (even for me a seasoned thriller reader- I think it was context coupled with the unrelenting nature of it all that I found a bit hard sometimes) Reads like a film which is maybe what author is hoping for. A very fast paced thriller and I will read more when I've got my breath back less
