" Would have rated this higher because it started out very strong, I liked the concept, liked the two main characters, but it had one twist and turn too many. It rather takes a great leap in credulity to have all these things happening to one person and have so many trails concerning so many people to tie together. They do but sometimes too much is too much. "

" It's hard to describe what I think of this book. First of all, I read through it like a speeding train and kept me interested until the last few chapters. I could tell it was written by "TV" people because of the fast pace. It also seemed like 3 episodes of a cop show. The first 2 stories were good. They were well written and had tight plots. The writers lost me in the 3rd episode. It seemed desperate and went way beyond believable after the first 2 parts. The writers should have stopped after the second part and left the rest for a sequel. I'm stuck between a 3 and 4 star review. 3 stars for the end but its hard to label a book I read straight through and kept me so interested until the last few chapters. I would give it 3.5 but since I can't, I am upping it to a 4. "

" The authors of this book are former producers of LO: SVU and this book has has many twists as the TV series. Claire Waters is a forensic phychiatrist, who is doing a fellowship under Dr. Paul Curtin. She meets her first patient, Quimby, at Riker's Island and he brings back memories from her past. She releases Quimby with restrictions, but he strays and starts murdering women. She finds help from NYPD detective Nick Lawler, who has his own issues. They find the answers to all the murders and the reasons behind them. I like Claire. She's smart, resourceful, flawed, and is good in a crisis. The ending is believable as Claire and Nick respect each other and are friends. i get tired of the predictable romanances of so many books. "

" Since this book was written by two writer of "Law and Order" I thought it would be a good murder mystery. It was OK. It had more than one plot and they all entwined in the end. If you like the tv show, you will probably like the book. "

" This is a three/three and a half star book until about page 200, then it takes off and is a five all the way, in fact it was so good from that point on, I forgot that it started slow and in my opinion a little disjointed. But once I hit around page 200 I could nbot stop reading and did not stop. Likely 100 pages left isn't much to get through but it was amazing, quite a roller coaster. To me, these Law and Order writers did not recreate the show in their writing, in fact other than the fact that it utilized a law enforcement and psychiatrist backdrop, it was not like the show. That is not a good thing and not a bad thing, it is a stand alone read, that could easily be made into a series, there are some things I would like to see Claire waters do. "

" Loved the fact that these guys wrote for Law and Order SVU for years. Book was a bit too easy to read and not as riveting as an episode of TV, but well worth it nonetheless. "
