BLOODY GOOD READ

The first in the "Moon" series for Mr. Gorman is a sharp, puzzlinig and intriguing whodunit. I especially like the way that Gorman jumps from the main storyline of investigator Robert Payne looking for the serial killer of young girls to the prison scenes with an unnamed prisoner and his sordid, graphic past. How these two stories come together is brilliantly done.Gorman is great with establishing the atmosphere of New Hope, Idaho, a fictional town near Cedar Rapids. He also gives us a sympathetic leading man in Robert Payne. Payne seems to have a strong sense of duty, decency and justice. There are many suspects in the overall case and I think you'll be surprised at the climax when the killer's identity is revealed.Yes, this is a gory book and the final scene with the rats is nerve-shaking to say the least.Gorman is a good writer, weaving a good plot and believable characters and a good underlying sense of humor.Can't wait to read the follow-up Moons!
