Customer Reviews

A wonderful psychological thriller

I tend to read non-fiction books. I don't know exactly why, maybe for the knowledge that can be found, but for any reason I rarely ever read fiction books. When a friend originally suggested that I read this book I thought if I got a chance, I would give it a shot. After nearly a year waiting to read it, I only wish I had done so sooner. I was enthralled by the realistic picture it painted of all that was going on throughout. This book was enough to bring me back into the realm of fiction and to keep me there for a while. This book is highly recommended!

A nail biting debut Thriller

I loved this book! It is dark, compelling and an all-night, leave the lights on read.A wonderful blend of fear and mystery that will keep you turning pages, following the plot twists until you get to a shocking and wonderful climax.If you are a fan of Dean Koontz, or Stephen King, this outstanding first novel is for you!

A great thriller

The crime scene shocks even the most harden police officer. The killer crucified a John Doe child leaving the cross upside down at the misnamed Sunshine State Home. The Denver police assign their expert on cult-related homicides, Bobby Byccanon, to run the investigation. Claire Sharpe will head up the District Attorney's office side of the inquiries.Bobby and Claire begin their search for the satanic killer. However, several other cult-like murders soon follow. Meanwhile, the media turns the killings and the investigation into a circus that leaves Denver residents in fear. For Claire, the nightmare turns darkest when the satanic serial killer abducts her beloved little girl, Megan. The race to stop a deadly cult has turned very personal.THE BLACK WALTZ is an extremely gritty police procedural that focuses on a satanic cult turning homicidal. The story line is filled with non-stop action and increasing terror as the reader is fascinated and appalled by the plot, especially the cult members who seem like neighbors. Although the identity of the cult leader requires a psychological stretch, that does not stop Mari Hilburn and Michelle Poche from providing a triumphant debut that calls for sequels.Harriet Klausner

Stephen King, look out!

I read this book in one sitting. It's thrilling, intense and doesn't slow down. A great first effort for the team of co-authors. If you enjoy reading Stephen King and Dean Koontz, you will love this one.
