The Moon Pool

Max McCoy will hold you on the edge of your chair as you journey into not only an under water grave site but the mind and body of a serial killer. At 400 feet deep you will find the victims hidden in what use to be an mining town that now finds itself covered with water and only a part of the past. The killing seems to have gone on for a very long time and a underwater crime scene investigator Richard Dahlgren is called in to handle the investigation. Where the story goes from here is where you come in, by reading this story, it will open your mind and you will enter the mind of a serial killer. Larry Hobson- Author "The Day Of The Rose"

deep intelligent thriller

In homage to the mythology's Persephone, every twenty-eight days, he captures a red haired beauty, takes his victims underwater to the ruins of Mineral City, and at the full moon completes the circle by killing his prey. An official missing person's investigation has led to the need of a specialized expert so underwater crime scene investigator Richard Dahlgren leads the inquiries.Bodies suddenly turn up at an alarming rate and a pattern amidst this serial killing chaos forms that the murders have been going on for years. Richard, haunted by his own tragic failure a decade ago, hopes he can do better with the abducted Jolene and with the Goddess seemingly filling his head he might succeed. She meanwhile knows Richard is her only chance of surviving so naked and wearing only a cross she prays that she somehow survives the ordeal rather than become the latest victim in a long running Greek tragedy.This deep intelligent thriller takes the time to introduce readers to several subplots using scientific and technical vernacular, but worth the energy of those who appreciate a strong tale. The cast is solid whether they are the hero, the victim, the villain, the mythological figures or other support players. The various subplots cleverly merge over the course of the exciting story line in which the circles of murder and mythos overlap so that fans will treasure diving into the invigorating THE MOON POOL.Harriet Klausner

"The Moon Pool" a "GREAT READ"

Just finished "The Moon Pool" and just had to leave a brief comment. I am not normally a "thriller" reader but this one grabbed me from the very begining. I particularly enjoyed the technical detail that was included. If you enjoy "thrillers", read it! If you want to understand and get a insight into cave diving, read it!I for one, will be looking forward to any new contemporary thrillers by Max McCoy!

Moon Pool

Both my husband and I read this book. It's a whole new concept in murder mystery. A refreshing change from the ordinary serial killer thriller. We highly recommend it!

Hooked

From the first sentence, I was hooked. McCoy raises the bar with this smart thriller. He shows regard for his audience by not talking down to us. His use of detail put me in the scenes, hoping and fearing for the very real characters. I wonder who'll play Dahlgren in the movie?
