3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, But Shallow, Jun 27 2004

A Discerning Reader (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deviant Way (Mass Market Paperback)

Jack Paris was interesting, but as a main character, he seemed predictable. The story was engaging without giving us a clear picture of why someone would engage in such horrific acts.

I think this plot was very well thought out, but the author fails to provide enough detail for us to understand the demons that would lead someone to commit these crimes. The reader is left unsure of exactly who did what to whom, as if Montanari was told he only had five pages to wrap up the story. It shows a lot of promise for future endeavors. Good debut thriller by a veteran writer.

This review is from: Deviant Way (Mass Market Paperback)

A first novel that holds your interest, but is sometimes too tricky for its own good. Holds promise for future stories.

Pangloss "soldierblue" (Woodstock, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deviant Way (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the second of Mr. Montanari's books I have read. This title introduces the jaded cop, Jack Paris. His pursuit of a pair of vicious serial killers makes for exciting reading. This is not a book for the faint hearted, since there are graphic descriptions of the murders and the sexual tone of the story is quite explicit. The characters are well developed and believable, with Jack Paris portrayed as a middle-age cop with a lot of baggage. There is also a plot line that is left unresolved that stretches the credibly of the story. Otherwise, if you like a tense, exciting, hard-to-put down murder/cop novel, this one is for you.
