I love the Alex Delaware novels and this one is no exception. I couldn't put it down, as I had to know who did it. I love the scenes in the asylum for the criminally insane. Pyschology in general fascinates me, so any book that has a good portion spent talking with the staff and inmates in an asylum will get me hooked.

This is a great detective story. People are being murdered in grisly fashion and it leads back to a gruesome murder from years past. I love this book because it is much gorier and twisted than the average detective thriller. I love Agatha Christie-type mysteries, but this is like a horror-mystery combo and it's excellently written. A great read!!!
