Oohh I did like this murder mystery. Nothing quite like a clever serial killer to have me up all hours reading when i should be sleeping. And this really is a rather clever serial killer story.
The serial killer shares with Hannah, a video store worker, snippets from old movies which show murder scenes which he then copies when killing someone she knows. So poor Hannah is warned of the crime before it happens is a most freakish way - she kows someone will be killed and how but she doesnot know wh...more

OMG! IF YOU LOVE MYSTERY,THRILLER, WITH A HINT OF ROMANCE THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU, THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK READ BY KEVIN O'BRIEN AND IT WAS WELL WRITTEN AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, I GIVE IT A 7/5 IF THAT IS POSSIBLE, THINK THAT KEVIN O'BRIEN AND CYNTHIA EDEN WOULD MAKE A GOOD DUO WRITER, THIS IS ALONG THE LINES OF DEADLY FEAR AND DEADLY LIES OF CYNTHIA EDEN. IMAGINE BEING TOLD IN ADVANCE THAT SOMEONE IS GOING DIE, THEY SEND YOU CLUES... YOU DON'T KNOW WHOM AND WHEN, IS IT A PURE COINCIDENCE? IT WAS INT...more

This book grabbed me from the beginning and I could not put it down. I usually like to read books that have a strong emphasis on the investigation and a strong Detective/cop character. So when I first read that the main character worked a video store and there really was no cop character, I was a little bit afraid that I would be bored. But I was wrong! The characters back stories were very believeable and the way the characters (normal every day people) investigated the murders themselves reall...more
I'm not going to lie, I bought this book because it was cheap and I needed a book to read. It turned out to be one of the best books I've read in a long time. It was perfectly written and I don't think anyone could see the end coming. Spectacular. Each of the characters had a rich and deep history and O'Brien keeps you guess at "whodunnit." I thought I had it figured out, and then he just kept making me think. Wonderful book. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a good thriller. A+!...more
Absolutely got this book because of price point but it was one of the best I've read this year. I read it in just one sitting as I was unable to put it down and managed to squeeze out battery juice from my Nook by charging it briefly so I could finish it. There were multiple suspects in the storyline which was quite horrific and although you had some idea who the killer might be the ending was still a shocker. I couldn't have slept even if I'd tried and it makes me look at people twice now.
I LOVED this book! I am 13 and i just got drawn into the book as soon as i picked it up. The plot of this book took me by suprise. Th is is a great book to read with the lights on! I would not reccomend reading it alone and in the dark. I tried that and it scared me half to death! I stummbled upon this book when i needed a book for my english class so i went to my dads bookshelf and started reading it.
Kevin O'brien does a nice job of keeping readers on the edge of their seats while trying to unwind the mystery being spun. The characters are basically believable and the final explanation is relatively satisfying. Certainly worth a read if you like a novel that keeps you wondering who the bad guy really is.
I really enjoyed this one. The main character is stalked by an unknown man after she's made a new life for herself and her son after escaping a rich, abusive husband, and moving half-way across the country.
A fast-past pageturner that I read in a matter of hours. I couldn't put it down once I started! There's some really great movie allusions in it as well.
Kevin O'Brien is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. He has a way of making everyone seem suspect.
Plus, I'm originally from the Pacific NW, so it brings a whole different creep factor into the equation.
Pick one up, read it, ad see if you can figure it out before all is revealed.

I thought this book was pretty good. But like most scary stories, the ending was a bit disappointing.
Entertaining, fast-paced mystery that kept you guessing until the end.
This book was very intense!! My first Kevin O'Brien book too!
Pretty good
great book
$3.19
first time reading this author and I liked...should be sleeping but had to finish. good read!
I can only agree with the previous reviews: a highly suspenseful novel with a disappointingly weak end. But since almost all pages except the last 30 were so thrilling to me, that I could hardly put it down, I'm giving the four stars anyway. The author really manages to capture his readers from the very start, and not with this book only!
A new twist to this thriller. Movie buff reenacts the killing scenes of some classic movies and tapes them. The killings drag on without police awareness of the pattern while the heroine tries to solve it. She's fearful of police contact because she's an abused spouse who fled with her child.
I liked the book but it has almost the same plot as another of his books and was a little disappointed that it wasn't a new story line. This was an older work of his and his latest book is almost a replica with different names. Seems like maybe he is at a low point in his creativity.

One of my guilty-pleasure are these pop-fiction mystery thriller books, and Kevin O'Brien is great. This one is expecially fun because of it's many movie references. Not only a good read, but I added a bunch of excellent films to my netflix queue!
A suspenseful page-turner
I like Kevin O'Brien books for the same reasons I like Nicholas Cage movies: They're over the top, kind of cheesy, but overall really fun.
A killer is stalking people and sending videos to Hannah with movie scenes depicting how they are going to die. Now, he after Hannah.
I enjoyed this book alot !!
Love Kevin's books.
