5.0 out of 5 stars
great thriller, April 30 2011
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Disturbed (Mass Market Paperback)
In Seattle Molly married Jeff Dennehy and for the next months lived in the home of her husband's ex wife Angela, who left him, the house and the kids. Angela has visitation rights and comes to the neighborhood quite frequently to see her friends who are frigid to Molly. Their coldness and the Cul-de-Sac Killer, who has murdered residents in similar homes, has Molly concerned about living in the complex.Molly adores her two step-children Erin and Chris though they keep her at a wary distance. When Ray Corson, Chris' former counselor, is murdered, life in Willow Tree Court has become dangerous. The Cul-de-Sac Killer is interested in the families living there. However, the psychopath has a rival as someone else is also killing people in this cul-de-sac by imitating the infamous serial killer. Other deaths occur leaving everyone badly shaken, but the culprit has left the Dennehy household for last. However, the killer had not expected resistance from Molly and Chris who refuse to die without a fight.
Kevin O'Brien is a great thriller writer because of his ability to insure the targeted individuals seem real as they face danger. The Willow Tree Court residents are three dimensional with quirks and flaws so that when the predator strikes, the audience feels a neighbor has died. The story line is action-paced as the suspense grows tenser with each kill. Readers will cheer for courageous Chris and conscientious Molly as they begin to understand to kill or be killed.

Easy, but not outstanding, read, May 3 2011
By Smokey - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Shortly after meeting handsome, divorced Jeff Dennehy, thirty-two-year-old Molly marries him and relocates from Washington, D.C. to Seattle, where she moves into the house he shared with his ex-wife and continues to share with his two children. It isn't easy being stepmother to seventeen-year-old Chris and his young sister, Erin, especially when their mother, Angela, is still in Seattle and openly resentful of Molly. It isn't easy living in the house that Angela decorated, and it isn't easy living across the street from Angela's best friends. To make matters much, much worse, a serial killer has been murdering families who live on cul-de-sacs, and guess where the Dennehy house is located: a cul-de-sac.Molly tries to deal with children, a husband who travels extensively, the murder of Chris' former guidance counselor, who may have lost his job because of Molly, a couple of new neighbors, her career as an artist, a neighbor's rude house sitter, her estranged mother, and a growing feeling that her family is not safe. She is also hiding a horrendous secret from her past.
Kevin O'Brien's novel, Disturbed, reads easily and the serial-killer and guidance counselor murder plots are interesting, if not really nail-biting, but the characters are too wooden and stereotypical to make this a truly outstanding thriller.

Fantastic book!!!!, April 27 2011
By Patricia Goodspeed - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Disturbed (Mass Market Paperback)
"Disturbed" is a great book that grabs you by the throat and moves at breakneck speed all the way through. Sort of a desparate housewives with a little serial killer sprinkled throughout. I was kept guessing all the way through who the killer was. I could not put the book down. Kevin O'Brien just gets better and better. Buy this book! You will love it!!
