A killer is out to set the record straight…
…but its Detective Alex King who has blood on his hands.

A gripping crime mystery you won’t be able to put down.

When Homicide Detective Alex King’s ex-fiancé’s mother is murdered, he fears a serial killer the media dubbed The Pillow Strangler might be back. But when another person close to King becomes the killer’s next victim, King is forced to admit the clues left behind might be blazing a trail straight to him.

An edge-of-your seat nail-biter chock-full of suspense.

Investigative reporter, Samantha Bell, is presented an offer she can’t refuse, but by a man she’s not sure she can trust. Soon she and her crime-solving friend, Erin Tate, are pulled into the investigations the police department don’t want to admit exist.

A dramatic heart-stopping ending you won’t want to miss.

Stepping into the line of fire, Samantha soon discovers the killer wants to connect King to a past he may not want to know. Together, they face Denver’s most terrifying criminal yet, and neither of them is sure they’ll make it out alive.

If you like Melinda Leigh and James Patterson, you won't be able to put down the pulse-pounding Samantha Bell series.

This book was awful. The writing is pedestrian, with errors either of editing or style that grated on my nerves. The plot is based on a cascading set of coincidences and "shocking revelations" related largely to the main characters, a homicide detective (Alex King) and his crime reporter girlfriend (Samantha Bell). Most of the unlikely twists focus on (spoiler alert) unveiling the sordid but heretofore hidden past of King's decorated, deceased, police hero father. The plot made little sense of the cardboard characters' acts. What a waste of time. People died cruelly and violently, but the violence seemed pornographic, especially as it was directed at women and had a weakly developed Freudian aspect. I have no problem with gritty novels, but this wasn't gritty, just grimy. There was no care taken in creating realistic characters: they popped up like targets in an amusement park shooting gallery only to be eviscerated if young or smothered if elderly. A lot of people seem to like this series of books. Fine. Don't follow their advice if you enjoy well-crafted crime fiction or "good books" in general. This is dreck.

Another excellent mystery. Book #5 in the Samantha Bell Series is terrific. Another cold case with a current twist. Someone is trying to get Alex’s attention by killing someone close to him. It is another book where you want to finish it in one reading. I fell asleep with my kindle on. Woke up and turned it off. Great mysteries and a great writer. Jeremy Waldron has a good imagination. The editors need to catch the grammatical errors because spell check won’t. Now I’m off to Book #6.

Uninspired

The story line was a bit convoluted. Too many characters introduced with little or no connection to the plot. The ending failed to bring together and make sense of the various character's motives.

Burn in Bell

Another exciting outing for Sam and King which I found difficult to put down. Delving into King’s past and cold cases an unknown killer replicates murders from his father’s era. Highly recommend.

Lousy writing

Writer needs to take classes in writing instead of watching CSI shows to see how police work cases. Sutherland probably better suited to writing about traffic tickets

Secrets

Family secrets can destroy. Dirty cops can change people's lives. King and Bell are pulled into a murderer's master plan. Waldron is once again a master storyteller.

Love how these lead you into one story after another. Really keeps your interest in trying to figure out "who done it"....
