Publisher Description

West Crosse is a stunningly brilliant, strikingly handsome architect with a love of ideal beauty and a commitment to achieving it at any cost. But the rich, powerful families who engage him to design their homes don't know his dark side: Crosse can't stop at designing their dwellings. He needs to make their lives more perfect too, even if it means a gut rehab of the family, even if the final design takes years to achieve—murdering an abusive spouse, a toxic lover, a predatory business partner or an unwanted child. As Crosse is about to embark on the master work of his creative life, the FBI puts Frank Clevenger on the case, and the ultimate cat and mouse game begins.

"This book is VERY R-Rated!!!!! Do not read if you have a problem with swearing, lots of blood and gore, or mature content (you know what I mean...) But, despite all that, this book is very well written with an unforgettable bad guy. It makes you wonder whether the ends really justify the means."

— Samuel (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “This reviewer inhaled Keith Ablow's Murder Suicide...its elaborately plotted story is a corker...Ablow explores how human emotions can enhance or destroy the creative process.

    — USA Today

  • It appears Ablow's also been channeling another revered master of murder most foul: Agatha Christie. The elegantly complicated forensic psychiatrist Dr. Frank Clevenger is still front and center...It's enough to make Miss Marple proud.

    " An interesting mystery in some ways, way too graphic for me in parts. I'm not really a big fan of the gruesome psychopath. Someone had recommended this author, and I've seen the author as a commentator on the news, so I thought I'd give one of his books a try. I'm good. "
