There were too many parallel stories going on in this book for me to really enjoy it. There was an FBI Director political intrigue corruption story and an FBI serial killer story. Plus, the FBI serial killer story also had two other back stories going on at the same time, one for each of the main characters. It was just a bit confusing for me. It was interesting enough, though, for me to want to read the next chapter. But I'm not sure what happened at the end or why.
This author really needs to find a professional editor to scour the book. The punctuation is pretty jumbled and distracts from the story. Then, there is simple incorrect spelling or word usage, such as “faze” instead of “phase”, “their” instead of “they're” and “Bajing” instead of “Beijing”.
