My favorite so far. I had it all figured out and was feeling pretty smug, then you threw a wrench and knocked me down. Good job. I'll get it right next time!

A knife Through The Heart is book 6 in the Quint Adler Thriller series. Well, our favorite P.I. is on a new case. This one is a little different from previous cases. Quint has been called by a defense team preparing to go to trial on a horrific murder case. Walnut Creeks popular restauranteur Archer Keats is getting ready to go on trial for the murder of his wife. Quint has been called in to basically interview potential witnesses, and get as much background information on these witnesses to see if they are fit to put on the stand when the trial starts. Quint is not sure if Archer is guilty or innocent, but he is keeping an open mind. Quint's spidey senses go up and he starts to look at everyone as a suspect, and as always in true Quint Adler fashion, more murder and mayhem ensues. As the story starts to wind down and you think we will find out if Archer is innocent or guilty, there is a holy sh*t twist, that I did not see coming. So I'm going to leave that right there. If you are a Quint Adler fan get this book ASAP!. If you are not familiar with author Brian O'Sullivan and the Quint Adler books, start with book 1 "Revenge At Sea". Then checkout Brian's other stand alone books, you will not be disappointed. I can't wait for Brian's next book, whether it's another Quint Adler book, or a new stand alone story.

Another great read

Another great read in the Quint Adler series.Each one is better than the last. A little different than previous books but just as intriguing and thought provoking. It kept me guessing right up until the last page. Quint is so easy to relate to, he speaks in words and sentences I can hear myself saying. I love watching him grow in each book. The worst thing I can say is I'm always a little lost when I've finished because I have to wait for the next book to come out.

In the beginning of the book, I found this a bit of a different than others in the Quint Adler series, but in no time, Quint showed himself! We see some familiar and some unfamiliar characters, all adding to the overall story. The main character, Quint, is loveable, outrageous, observant (most of the time), and persistent, all qualities I would want in a PI! In A Knife Through The Heart, he finds himself reluctantly embroiled in a legal case. As the story develops, he cannot help but go off the well-traveled path onto one of his own making. Another 5-star read by Brian O'Sullivan!

Terrific writer and plot creator.

I don't think it's easy to write credible dialog. This author's character's voices draw you right in to the situation and personalities and stays true throughout the novel.

The plot twists are genius and have you saying," didn't see that one coming!" Can't wait for # 7..
Best series I've read.

A excellent mystery wrapped in a good murder plot!

Anyone who likes a good mystery should enjoy this book. Lots of twists and turns! The final resolution is not obvious so it really holds your attention. Now on to the next Brian O'Sullivan book.

Wow.

"A Knife Through The Heart" keeps you guessing. It's a true whodunit packed with suspicious characters and multiple motives.
By the time the story wraps up, you'll be gasping for breath, the effect of "A Knife Through The Heart."

A knife through the heart

Book 6 of this series and it didn’t disappoint. I think this one has been my favorite so far. It was different premises from the other books and I was sure I had it figured out but I was SO WRONG!

[Hilary O'Malley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great one.


The sixth book in the Quint Alder series is another great one. Each book has a different type of scenario he is investing, and this one was great as well. It kept me guessing until the very last page.

Club Sandwiches ahead

The Quiet Adler thrillers seem to get better with each book. A self contained story with a strong hint that this is only part one.

[Dixie Keshavarzi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent!

You had me going in so many directions my head was spinning! I quite enjoyed all the surprises. Had fun reading this book.

[Missy Nemeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy reading style, as are all Brian O'Sullivan books. A little slow in the trial chapters, but the end was a good twist.

[Joss · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought I had it, then the big twist, followed by an even bigger one to keep you guessing!

I received my autographed copy of this book and the author wrote that the ending was nuts. True!! 🤯🤯

[Kathy White · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed another Quint Adler series book.

[Katie Turner · Rating 3 out of 5]

I already knew who did it halfway through. This was the most boring thriller to me.

[Frannie Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was good, but not my favourite Quint adventure. It lost me for a bit there in the middle, and I did some skim reading to get to where it got good again!

[Ginger Bardin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mind blowing

This story of a troubled marriage...twisted affairs...suspects at every turn had me guessing until the very last page. Truly amazing story telling!

[Lenee Knudson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another very good book in the Quint series. I suspected everyone in the family but didn't see the very last twist coming.

[Lucy Reid-Pudalik · Rating 5 out of 5]
