i have to admit to being rather conflicted on the rating of this book, which i desperately wish i could have given a 3.5 if able, but in the end, there was just too much that i found appealing to give it a flat 3.
my biggest complaints seem rather few when i think about them list-wise, but it's a strong list. there were, for a large portion of the book, too many story lines going on at one time, and by the time they were all pulled together, it wasn't so much an "a-ha" mo More...

It's been ages and ages since I've read this, but I remember this being as good of a "serial killer book" as I've ever read. And I have read Silence of the Lambs.
If you can find this, hunt it down.

Read this years ago when first released to paperback and I loved it. Turns out Michael Slade is the pen name of a Canadian father/daughter writing team. What a twisted imagination these two have. I approve!

Whoa this book is off the hook...a powerful bloody book with intersecting stories of a demented and violent serial killer, two sets of cops searching for him and glimpses into the lives of other characters..This book has everything sick and twisted you could want in a book: gory, violent detailed murder, psychosis at its best and hints of romance..but it also throws in incest, homosexuality, AIDS, death, rock and roll and of course HORROR...Scary book that was well written and interesting..The g

This book scread the beans out of me. I reread last summer and still has that gut-wrenching impact.

Creepy full of researched details that add fantastic depth and strength to the story. Excellent Canadian pyscho horror.

Would rate this 3.5 stars. It has so many twists and turns. The ending almost got me.

This novel is a guilty pleasure if there ever was one. It's trashy, horrific, twisted, and sadistic. But it's a gripping page-turner, and as far as mass market horror novels go, it's actually pretty good. If the members of Motley Crue sat down to write a sequel to The Silence of the Lambs, the result would be something like this book. I have given it 5 stars because and only because it's a masterpiece of irresistible garbage.

I really like these books, there are a ton in this series, written as a collaboration of lawyers who are experts in forenzics and psychoanalysis of criminals. it's a mystery-thriller with only a touch of ick, but the whole book comes together at break neck speed at the end, and will NOT dissapoint you. It has an educational touch to it, as they have done their homework. its a wonderful rainy day book. or series of books.

If you're familiar with Slade's work, you know what to expect. I didn't find it near as shocking as Headhunter, so I was kind of disappointed.
A lot of people liked this one, though.
