Three Detective Al Harris Cold Cases in one volume.

Hide and Seek

What would you do if the stalker you thought had disappeared was suddenly back?

15 years ago, Mary Anne Cromway was stalked by a violent psychopath that police were never able to identify. As the stalker became more obsessive and threatening, her boyfriend Bobby went missing. The town assumed that troublemaking Bobby had been playing a trick and had decided to run away when he got in too deep - or that Mary Anne was behind all of it herself. They were especially suspicious when the stalker disappeared right after Bobby did. 15 years later, Mary Anne receives another note from her stalker. She knows exactly who to go to for help.

Hook, Line, and Sinker

How long would you wait to prove your son's death was no accident?

Dozens of family members and loved ones who never got any closure call Detective Al Harris to look into their cold cases. He ignores most of them, trying to get back to focusing on not doing any real work. Then a particularly persistent woman piques his interest. Her son died on a fishing trip with his friends almost a decade ago - seemingly just a tragic accident. But his mother is certain that it was no accident. When enough details don't line up, the detective agrees to take on the case, even if it means the end of his career.

Close to Home

In an small Midwest town, suspicions and fear never truly die.

Detective Al Harris faces one of the most prolific serial killers in the history of the Midwest. The case has remained unsolved for 40 years and is the reason why he was hired to work in the cold case department in Woodlawn in the first place. The murderer was dubbed the Woodlawn Killer during his murderous spree in the '80s.

Amazing!

Absolutely enjoyed reading from beginning to end! The story really kept you guessing who were the good one and bad ones. Fell in love with characters and wish the story never ended. Thank you for a great mystery read!

Very good mystery

A Forensic Anthropologist travels to Wyoming to examine the remains of who he thinks is Etta Place. What he finds is a headless corpse in her coffin that belongs to an unknown male, He teams up with Morgan who is a writer for the local newspaper. What follows next will have you on the edge of your seat as you go through the twists & turns to solve the mystery. A great read

Wonderful read! A beautifully written mystery, full of small-town charm, exciting twists and compelling characters

Wonderful read! A beautifully written mystery, full of small-town charm that I can well appreciate, exciting twists and compelling characters.

I loved how easily the author kindled investment in the lives and happenings of these fictional characters. Although it started off a tiny bit slow for me, it felt like one minute I was at 25% and then I looked again and it was 86%. The storyline seriously ramped up at that point. Enough that I actually uttered aloud "WHOA!" - totally forgetting where I was and that no-one else knew what all the excitement was about. Once that happened it was pretty much impossible to put down.

Even though this is the second in the series, I believe it can be read as a stand-alone. I didn't read the first one and didn't find I was lost at all. That said, I will be adding the first one in the series to my To-Be-Read list/mountain and following the author's future work.

An unexpected hero with no super powers

Gingerly I walked through this book but it was great... not a blood at any cost like of story, OK some blood and at great cost to some of the bad guys and a couple of good guys. Why kill off the college students? Not sure. Or the poor truck driver at the beginning. Not sure. Just finished up last night and I'm not going on any road trips for a while. Yes, it was that good.

Nicely-written, well-plotted

This small-town thriller, set in Winchester, Wyoming, follows a twisting path through truck stop killers, late-night gunfire, and a long-dead woman who may just have been Etta Place, of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid fame... the writing is spare, but evocative, and the dialog convincing. I may have to go back and read the first in the series, having found it through this entry!

Members Reviews:

Pretty Good, With a Few Flaws

I really wanted to like this book, since I love both mysteries and the sport of harness racing. And, for the most part, I did think the book was excellent, particularly the main character, who I find to be a very interesting detective. However, I did have two problems with the book, that keep me from giving it 5 stars. First of all, in his desire to have the right mix of politically correct characters, the quthor produces quite a few awkward passages since, in alot of spots, the diversity he covets really doesn't fit, and seems contrived. Second, he should know, since his son, to whom he dedicated the book, is a fairly well known harness racing trainer in Chicago, that everyone who works on the backstretch at a harness track must be fingerprinted. Yet, from the way he describes these murders, prints must have been left, so the guy would have been identified almost immediately. So, all in all, the book was good but not great, and perhaps a bit inaccurate, but I would definitely read more by this author.

More McAbee Mysteries, please!

Cassies Ruler and Confessional Matters contain eventful and fast-paced stories distinguished by clear, vigorous writing. McCaffrey makes clever use of a rich and deep classical background. His mystery stories contain historical and philosophical references, with a hint of humor, to explicate attitudes and to breathe life into characters and personalities that are vivid and memorable. More McAbee mysteries, please!

Great slants, great points of view, great mystery/adventure

Loved the book - great slants, great points of view, great mystery/adventure story. Terrific read -- interesting!

A great cast of characters . . .

McAbee -- with all those scoundrels out there -- a tranquil, unruffled world for you is just not in the cards.

A must read, Highly recomended!

Mc Caffrey did an excellent job on this one. A must read for all harness racing fans. I fell in love with some of the characters, and it was hard to put down!

Members Reviews:

AT LAST, BUT NOT THE LEAST

This book was one of two of this series I have had in my library. It was a good time to take this aithor's books out and read them. Too many books that I have been reading are poorly written, poorly ployted, badly edited, and doubtfuly touched by a proof reader. This book, in fact sll the books I have read by this author, are total exceptions. It's a real pleasure to read this author's work!

Fast paced and pulled from the headlines.

Interesting story.

In the first quarter of the book we're told her mother's body was cremated, and so they couldn't exhume the body to check for drugs.

In the last couple chapters, our heroine visits her mother's grave and headstone.

What's up with that?

Other than that, the story was fast paced and pulled from the headlines.

Really a good book

It took a couple days to finish, but it was worth my time. I know the ending so I don't want to read the other books leading up to it. Even so great job and well defined characters. I'm sure I'll be reading of your books.

Great thriller

Enjoyed this story. Too bad alex did not get to know her mother. It was kind of scary that some of these cults do exist and you wonder if they go undetected. Want to read the rest of this series.

At Last

First Alex Troutt novel I've read and it took a while to get into the story. Once I did get into it, I couldn't put it down. Fast moving, exciting and a surprise ending. All the makings for great story telling you

Title: Monster (Alex Delaware 13)

Publisher's Summary:

Brnepsykologen Alex Delaware bliver endnu engang bedt om at hjlpe politiet i deres jagt p en forskruet seriemorder, der hrger Los Angeles' gader. Efterforskningen frer Delaware og efterforskeren Sturgis til et fngsel for psykisk syge kriminelle. Seriemorderen, der stadig terroriserer byen, myrder efter et mnster, der minder om en af de indsattes fremgangsmde i de forbrydelser, han sidder i fngsel for.

I lbet af efterforskningen bliver Delaware og Sturgis i tvivl om, hvorvidt en uskyldig mand er blevet dmt for de tidligere mord, og om hans kriminelle tendenser i virkeligheden skyldes fejlmedicinering og ikke en egentlig psykisk lidelse.

Jonathan Kellerman (f. 1949) flger i sine romaner psykologen Alex Delaware, som hjlper politiet med at opklare forbrydelser. Kellerman er selv brnepsykolog, og dette gr ham i stand til at kombinere den traditionelle kriminalroman med elementer fra den psykologiske thriller.

Kellermans bger er blevet oversat til adskillige sprog, og han har vundet flere priser for sine mange bestsellere. Ud over Delaware-romanerne har han skrevet essays, non-fiction, anden sknlitteratur og illustreret brnebger.

Psykologen Alex Delaware samarbejder med Los Angeles' politi om at opklare srligt indviklede forbrydelser. Romanen adskiller sig fra den klassiske kriminalroman ved sine realistiske psykologiske elementer og sympatiske og komplicerede hovedperson.

Ved sin empatiske og forstende tilgang til de mennesker, der er involverede i forbrydelserne, er Alex Delaware langt mere effektiv end den typiske hrdkogte detektiv.

As every single Jonathan Kellerman Alex Delaware novels, this ...

As every single Jonathan Kellerman Alex Delaware novels, this is another first-class story woven and written by a talented man with a very rich imagination. All of his books are winners and this is no exception. I've almost worked my way through all 30 books in the series and find myself trying to read slower so I won't finish them faster than Mr. Kellerman writes them. What a mind he has!!!!

onathan Kellerman Novels

basically like what Jonathan Kellerman writes. I lOVE his charctersand how they fit into interiging stories. You once get to know them and can't wait to findd out what is going to happen next. I am so happy they are on Kindle. That is really the only way I wish to read a book now that I have been totally hooked on my Kindle. I use oher devices for work or oâher necessary âhings, then it comes my time, it is with my kindle and perhaps one of Kellerman's books. I can say he has done some great work as far as I am concerned. I relax and enjoy! You who haven't tried it should. there is so much stews in our world today, I find his books just keep me glued and relaxed at the same time!

Monster: An Alex Delaware Novel

This was one of the best Alex Delaware series .

The characters and plot was written with a different type of theme.

The ending was not at all what the reader would expect.

one that grabs you and does let go

Scary book, but held my attention totally until I finished. Couldn't put it down

Gutsy reporter Lark Chadwick once again finds herself at the wrong place at the right time: front-row center when the White House press briefing room is suddenly attacked. The president is missing, the first lady's life is at risk, and Lark's personal life is falling apart when the man she loves disappears.

DeDakis also draws on his 45-year journalism career (25 years at CNN) to show the daily struggles that go on behind the scenes in day-to-day, deadline-a-minute journalism.

Publisher's Summary:

Retired police chief Katherine Sullivan moved away from Edina, Minnesota, to feed her artistic soul in New Mexico. But when she receives an urgent call, her serenity is shattered. Nathan Walker, her best friend and former colleague from her days on the police force, is missing and his crew of security experts hasn't seen him in days. Now it's up to Katherine to fly home and track him down.

Meanwhile, Edina is reeling from the murder of a local woman, which looks more and more like it could have a connection to Nathan's disappearance. And as Katherine digs deeper into the investigation, locating Nathan's abandoned car and compiling a list of potential kidnappers, another body is found - and Katherine fears time is running out for her friend.

Finding herself reluctantly pulled into a new case, Katherine must set aside her artistic pursuits and tear herself away from her darling grandchildren in order to save her best friend in Death in the Abstract, the compelling sequel to Emily Barnes' The Fine Art of Murder.

Members Reviews:

Action Packed

This story starts with action and doesn't stop. The mystery is complex with many different facets. Katherine handles it all with aplomb and still manages to spend time with her grandkids. I look forward to the next book.

Not so much

If you like rural settings for your mystery, this will do. The writing level is less than average.... the narrator is poor. The story is OK.
