5 | Shocking! | To say that I was shocked, fascinated, and fully engaged throughout this book is an understatement. Victor Methos is an author I'd never read before. I've read a great deal of true crime but this book blew me away.

5 | Fantastic Start to a Great Series! | My introduction to Rick Mofina was the first book in the Tom Reed series. I was blown away.

4 | Paranoid | While I enjoyed this book, I preferred the first book I read by this author THE SERIAL KILLER'S WIFE.

4 | Coffee House | On 09/09/09 I read the story Cafe' Noctem from the anthology HEARTS FROM THE ASHES.

4 | Watching Out for Him | I purchased this paperback and read this on 08/30/2009. Back then I wrote my reviews in a different manner.

5 | The Beast of Hunter Penitentiary | I truly enjoyed this book. In grad school I majored in Prison Management so I am familiar with a lot that was discussed about the prison the story mostly takes place in.
