Publisher's summary

Other than the bullet lodged less than a centimeter from his heart, former Detroit police officer Alex McKnight thought he had put the nightmare of his partner's death and his own near-fatal injury behind him. After all, Maximilian Rose, convicted of the crimes, has been locked in the state pen for years. But in the small town of Paradise, Michigan, where McKnight has traded his badge for a cozy cabin in the woods, a murderer with Rose's unmistakable trademarks appears to be back to his killing ways. With Rose locked away, McKnight can't understand who else would know the intimate details of the old murders - not to mention the signature blood-red rose left on his doorstep. And it seems like it'll be a frozen day in Hell before McKnight can unravel the cold truth from a deadly deception in a town that's anything but paradise.

Good storytelling

Enjoyed the story, what that kind of fear might feel like, and play out in someone's life.

Twist at the end I didn't see coming.

Pretty good story. The narrator was Very good at changing up the voices just enough that you could tell when a different person was talking.
The editing was lacking just a bit as there were 2 places in the story where it skipped backwards a little bit and you were listening to the same thing again for a minute or two. Also had a fairly lengthy section of a Lot of G Damn its that were a bit too much for me.
All in all a good listen.
I would definitely listen to this narrator again as his inflections were just right for the situations.

Really great mystery!

I enjoyed the characters in the story and how they played off of each other. I sincerely liked that I didn't see the end coming. That definitely makes a great mystery for me!

High hopes for a new Author

After I finished the Harry Bosch, Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, and Jack Ryan series of books, I looked for a new author to get behind. The reviews were good on this book, but the story fell short of the action packed, plot twisting writing styles I had grown used to. Don't get me wrong, the book is not bad, it just wasn't what I was used to.

Little Reducant

It reminded me of John Corey from Nelson DeMille books. Took me a little bit to get on with it but then the book hooked me and I finished it wanting more. Great reader. I read the book at 1.3 probably could’ve been read a little bit faster.
