[Kaylynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book took almost a month to finish reading. Although some parts were intriguing, creative, and suspenseful the ending left me a bit underwhelmed. I wanted more of a twist...

An awesomely well written book that I would give more more stars if I was allowed!!! This books will keep you guessing who the killer is from beginning until the end!!!

20 years ago, a young man was sent to prison labelled a serial killer, although he has always claimed his innocence. Now he has two new lawyers who are trying to get his sentence over-turned, & while their client is in prison, there's a killer on the loose!!

This killer does the same thing that was done 20 years ago, funny thing is, the public doesn't know every little detail about the old crimes. But this new killer does!! Was the man in prison honestly wrongfully accused of the crimes of the past and the real serial killer is still out there? Or is there a copy cat on the loose?

There's a new detective in town and she's on the case now, she'll stop at nothing to find out!! Read "DIARY OF A SERIAL KILLER" & find out the exploding truth of what really happened 20 years ago to find out what's happening now!!!

A good thriller mystery, it keeps you hanging till the very end.

[Ellen Gragg · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this suspenseful novel. In general, I like adventure and suspense but get a little tired of serial killers. However, I wanted to read more of Ed Gaffney's work, so I gave it a chance...and I'm glad I did. This is full of surprises, features well-realized characters, and has a very satisfying resolution.
I look forward to reading Gaffney's next book.

It kept my interest and was pretty intense, but quite a few plot holes were left untouched in the end. I can't decide whether I like who the killer was or not. I was expecting something very different and what I think would have been a more fun twist. Oh well. Still a fun read.

This book has it all; a woman cop, two good looking attorneys, lots of suspects, good guys, bad guys, a darling little boy, and lots of suspense.

[Esther Cabral · Rating 2 out of 5]

Gripping but gives away the suspense tad too early.

[Gray · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good storytelling but the "twist" didn't adequately set itself up through the storyline

[Alison Welch · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book great suspense and twists all the way through
