Can't believe I've found an "old" (published 1995) book by this author that I haven't read but then find it's also been issued as ""Deviant Way" which does sound familiar......

An okay read but nowhere near as good as others by this author. In a nutshell, three women have been brutally murdered & Homicide Detective Jack Paris is on hand to track the killer...or is it killers?...down.

As ever there are plenty of red herrings, but maybe it's just that I'm so used to this author's style now but many seemed too obvious & could be seen for the misdirections they were. I found that parts of the book didn't flow well & other parts were muddling. As it was first published under a different title in 1995 I wondered if it had been edited again - a thought I had due to the comment of Justin Bieber posters being on a girls bedroom wall...I know he started young but wouldn't he have been about 1 in '95?!

I was losing interest by the end if I'm honest & the revealing of Saila & Pharaoh seemed rushed & unconvincing, never mind that there was no satisfactory explanation for their actions. I didn't care for the characters, the sexually promiscuous Andrea Heller & her voyeur husband held little appeal for me & I didn't really care about their fate. Even "hero" Jack Paris didn't have the charm as Byrne & Balzano.

A reasonable read but not the gory, gripping edge-of-the-seat-thriller that I expected from one of my favourite authors.
