MY VIEW
The author wrote a book full of action and drama. Fast paced but to me the storyline was rather the usual. Crumb, a well known physician is mugged at gunpoint and goes on the prowl to change the city and rid it of criminals. One problem I had was he was filled with hate and going after criminals when your entire being is filled with hatred is almost vigilante. That is no way to deal with the problem at hand. Where was the law? Were they not doing anything.? He's basically taking the law into his own hands.When his friend Detective Chad Green is assigned to find out about all the murders that are taking place, his path leads to Crumb, main suspect. Somehow, even though the evidence against him looks bad for him. His friend finds it hard to believe that Crumb could actually commit murder. Then the bomb drops, Chad's wife has been kidnapped and Chad looks at his loyalty to Crumb is fading fast. Does Crumb have it in him to kill or is there someone else out there that should be a suspect? Has Crumb taken Chad's wife? If so, will he kill her or will he be chasing down the real culprit to save her? The book does have a lot of twists and turns and maybes. After I got to reading it, it was a fairly good book. It just seems like the every day book of murder and who dun it.
I was given a complimentary copy of A MURDEROUS MIND from the author, C.J. McCoy and Out Skirts Press for my view of the book.
I would give this book 3 STARS.
