      Each one is a stand alone and I get hooked after each first chapter. The only recurring part is that each is about a serial killer and most of the suspense keeps you guessing until close to the end. Just when you think you have it all figured out he drops a bomb on your suspect and you are back to square one. I have read almost all of his books now and am sad that I will soon finish the last one. Hurry up and write more books Kevin. I’m waiting for the next one. All I can say is he is the best writer I have read in a long time and I read hundreds of books every year. The most suspenseful books ever!
