Night Sins (Deer Lake, #1)
by Tami Hoag
by Tami Hoag
I really dug this book. I went into it skeptical as this type of book was never really something I'd bothered reading before (outside of the Hannibal Lecter series.)
It's about FBI agent Megan O'Malley who is sent to a small Minnesota town to help Chief of Police Mitch Holt find a local boy who was kidnapped by a clue leaving madman.
The writing was very well done, each character had plenty of dimension, and the book kept me guessing until the very end. The only part of the book that didn't seem to fit in was probably due to the author, Tami Hoag, having been a romance writer before she moved to crime thrillers. The couple of sex scenes in the book get very descriptive, and while I have no problem with that on its own, when the scenes are easily two or three times as descriptive as the rest of the book it really kind of pulls you out of the story. If she'd been more descriptive through the rest of the book, or less in those scenes, it would have flown better rather than jarring you back to reality as you wonder how you've jumped from one author to another. Out side of that another terrific read.
