Great Debut

Cube 6 is an outstanding debut by Thomas Griffin. The authors knowledge of both the medical research and investment world is unique and combine to create a fresh and compelling work. I am looking forward to a second book by this author.

THE PERFECT AIRPLANE BOOK

Cube 6 kept me completely interested and engaged for hours and hours. I read it in two sittings. The characters are interesting and there is a really GREAT plot twist that made me say, "Whoah!" right out loud (you can ask my boyfriend). I also laughed several times, event though most of the time I was reading it I was pretty anxious because it has a lot of suspense. That is my idea of a good book. A friend of mine let me read her copy but then I bought seven more for presents. Teh cover is really cool.

Gritty police procedural

Though the first two victims are hookers found dead in motels with no evidence of homicide, Seattle citizens worry about a Northwest Ripper living amongst them. Frightening the locals with his eerily serene descriptions, Seattle Times reporter Jon Kirk calls the culprit the Sandman based on the way the victims seem to go gently "asleep" into the night.The local authorities react to the media attention given to the Sandman by setting up a task force headed by Detective Karen Able. A clue leads to University of Washington Medical School Professor Holyoke, but no one can locate him. As Jon and Karen reluctantly combine their talents to uncover a killer and locate the missing professor, the Sandman officially becomes labeled a serial killer as the count rises.Thomas W. Griffin rolls a seven with his first novel, CUBE 6, an exciting urban noir gritty police procedural. The suspense rises as the audience follows the mental competency of the killer deteriorate over time, and the anxiety of Jon and Karen towards each other and towards stopping the Sandman. However, the subplot involving the tempestuous relationship between the lead characters seems contrived to add stress on and between the cop and the journalist. When they stick to the case, the audience observes a strong exciting investigative thriller while true tenson forms between the protagonists. Suspense fans and police procedural readers will appreciate this action packed novel.

Exciting new author

A woman is found murdered, posed on top of an undisturbed motel room bed. She is lying on her back, naked, with her feet propped together, toes up, and her arms folded across her chest mummy-style. There are no signs of a struggle and there is no obvious cause of death. The killer is named The Sandman because his victims seemingly just fall asleep without a fight. This book scores a 10! It's a gritty noir with great characters and a really twisted serial killer. Suspense and thriller fans will love it. It's a page turner, and it ranks up there among the best I've read this year.

Really a fun mystery

I loved this book. Griffin reminds me a lot of Patterson, only a lot more fun. Cube 6 is a medical thriller with lots of plot twists and turns. The good guys, Jon Kirk, a repoter for a Seattle newspaper, and Karen Able, a detective with the Seattle police, really come alive. And their romantic encounters are really, really funny. The Sandman, the bad guy, is as scary as they come. Anyone looking for an exciting, fun, page-turner should read this book.
