Reviews

[Brent Winslow · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best of the trilogy. In this novel Taffin needs to track down a serial killer before he strikes again. A number of interesting storylines are weaved together well by Mallett.

Of the Taffin series that I've read this one would have the lowest rating. The book follows on from the previous books but doesn't build upon the character in any way.
