Accounting for Clues
Former CPA and private investigator Claude Monday helps friends at the police department on a serial killer case, in which accounting statements are found at crime scenes. Trying to solve the clues—and wondering what, if any, relevance they have to the murders—Claude becomes so wrapped up in the case, he neglects his wife, Kay, and teenage daughter. Kay advises he quit. Not wanting more victims, Claude debates what to do. Can he avoid disaster? Or will the murderer succeed in tormenting him, worse than Claude could have imagined?

I really enjoyed this book! I don’t usually read mystery/thrillers but have been getting more into them this year. This one had an interesting plot regarding the clues the murderer left. I easily rooted for Claude and his family and easily disliked the murderer. I’m glad the end of the book talked more about his wife because i was a little confused by her storyline, but was rooting for her as well. A quick, suspenseful read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This psychological thriller is a simplistic story, which alternates in perspective from that of the killer and that of the private investigator obsessed with cracking the code and catching the killer. In the end, all of the loose ends come together. However, the dialogue is simplistic and contrived, the characters are not fully developed in any sense, and the suspense fails to build, but instead becomes a monotonous and repetitive storyline. Ultimately, as the novel reached its climax, I did not find myself engaged, but ready for the conclusion. After all, we already know who the murderer is, so what is the point?

First I would like to state that I received this book through the Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review. I would like to thank the author for giving me this opportunity and honor in being able to read this book. When I received this book I began reading it at once. I really enjoy the authors writing style, pulls you into the book from the very beginning and you don't want to put the book down. It kept me on the edge of my seat reading from cover to cover. All the characters are very well portrayed though out. When you are finished you wish you weren't. A most wonderful read and I highly recommend this book

Received this book via a Goodreads Giveaway. After three, well spaced and truly valiant attempts to finish the entirety of the book, it was my first DNF. Ever.
