Gabe Quinn Thrillers Box Set
KILLING HOPE -- Book 1
"Celebrity Cop" Gabe Quinn is working Robbery-Homicide after a personal tragedy has left him emotionally bare. He's raw, but resolved to catch a serial killer stalking the streets of two major cities. With cryptic clues left behind at each crime scene, Gabe is faced with the seemingly impossible task of piecing together the bizarre puzzle - following signs that point toward a killer whose motive questions everything he believes in. One man stands in the way of countless deaths ...
One man will try to stop him ...
Only one will succeed ...
CROSSING LINES -- Book 2
How far would you go to protect your children? Gabe Quinn has quit the LAPD and is chasing his demons pro bono - determined to catch or kill the two serial killers responsible for ruining his life. But when a mutilated body is washed up on a picturesque Florida beach it marks the beginning of the end for Gabe and his sanity. Nothing is quite what it seems and never will be again. What follows is an explosive game of cat and mouse and a death race to save a woman's life from the hands of a madman. But this is no ordinary kidnapper. This is Gabe's nemesis - the murderer of his wife, the monster responsible for killing Hope: The Maestro. And he has returned with an old score to settle. One that will force Gabe to cross every line he has ever made. One man wants revenge ... One man wants to even the score... Only one will succeed ...
TAKING LIBERTY -- Book 3
Could you give your life to save someone else? Imprisoned for the attempted murder of a federal agent, former homicide detective Gabe Quinn is keen to make amends for his mistakes - so when a gruesome murder forces his freedom, he is determined to do everything in his power to bring the killer to justice and prove himself to the FBI. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and the killer has something else in mind for Gabe Quinn, something that will raze everything he knows to the ground. Drawn into a desperate chase against the killer's deadline, Gabe is forced to stand accountable for the decisions of his past and the possibility he might not have a future. One man is on the hunt ... One man intends to take his liberty ... Only one will succeed ...

Too many random characters and actions. Disjointed and hard to follow. It is almost as if the author has many books that could be written but instead put the all together into one huge story. You think you have a handle on it, then something formulaic happens. Russian mob....really? I kept reading hoping it would improve. It didn’t.

What does a detective do, when his son is a murderer?
Detective Gabe Quinn is engaged in finding a series of murders. Attempting
to profile and engage the murderer is difficult at best, especially when murders mount. But how does Gabe handle things when the murderer asks to meet after several murders have happened? He goes to the meet, of course, only to find ...Sorry I almost gave something away...that you will have to read to find out! Well worth the read!

Unfinished…
Loved books 1-3 but hated that 3 left off with a cliffhanger and book 4 was a waste of time. I’d hoped it filled in some spaces leading up to book one but it was just a short mystery. This series is great-just wish he’d wrapped up storylines before moving on to another series.

One of the best series I have ever read. A very strong lead character. You'll be loving Gabe Quinn within the first few pages. See below my individual reviews of each book. Nothing like picking them all up at the same time and saving some money too. Great deal on an awesome series! Enjoy!
Killing Hope: Gabe Quinn is a fantastic character. He is not perfect, but that is what makes him a great lead in this book. The author lets us into Quinn’s past bit by bit until all is finally revealed and we see what makes this man do what he does. It is easy to see Houghton loves to shock his readers, as there is an ending that is one of the most creative twists I have ever read in a mystery/police thriller. I am hoping this is just the beginning to a long list of Quinn mysteries.
Crossing Lines: Gabe Quinn is back but now he is hiding out from his past in Florida. Unfortunately, murder seems to follow the Celebrity Cop wherever he tries to run. Gabe is pulled into a new murder and soon after, he is called back to help the FBI try to capture his wife’s killer, the Maestro. As with Houghton’s first book, there are twists and turns that will make your head spin, but they all are choreographed so well that they come together at the end to make perfect sense. Again, the ending is one you will never see coming and there are surprises until the very last page. A little slow to get into, but once the action starts, things start happening so fast you will not be able to put it down. The ending definitely left me wanting more.
Taking Liberty: This is a wonderful followup to the first two books in the series. Our favorite detective is back and from the very first page the action starts. The book is filled with typical Houghton style- twists and turns and bad guys taking on Gabe Quinn everywhere he turns. Some new characters show up in this book that add a lot to the mix and really flesh out the story line. If you liked the first two books, you will love this one. It is right on par with the others. You really should read the others before you dive into this one though- there is a lot of back story you would miss otherwise. A great third book in the series and I can't wait for a fourth!
