The Steel Van Man
Description
In a sleepy coastal town north of Boston, a serial killer selects its victims using a unique code of ethics...
Detective Stanley Devonshire is uncovering a trail of evidence in an attempt to determine exactly how the killer has managed to continue on its horrific rampage undiscovered for what appears to be eighty years with the exact same pattern.
At the outset, there is no discernible thread of reason connecting the killings. So Stan enlists the help of his longtime friend from Marblehead, Detective Mark Brown. Stan is also joined forcibly by a stunning state police officer and imposing federal agent who follow him along on a journey of revelation twist after convoluted twist. Devonshire is certain he is close to solving the cases stacking up on his desk, but in his attempt to identify the illusive killer he may become the hunter’s next victim.
I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I read a few chapters, and I was not interested in the book. However, because I have to write a review I kept on reading, and I am glad I did.
It takes a while for the book to get interesting, but once you get past the beginning, it gets better.
Even that in the middle of the book, you find out who the killer is and why he is killing, you don’t lose interest. The plot is a little bizarre, but nonetheless, it keeps you wanting to know what will happens next.
The last couple chapters got a little weird, and the end is a cliffhanger, letting you know that most like it, it will be a second book.
All in all, not bad but not that good either.
