Publisher's summary

Father Solomon Lancaster—the town's dry-witted sheriff and priest at the community Catholic church—finds himself on the forefront of an investigation into a series of murders. Soon, he's fighting to match wits with the serial killer terrorizing his town while trying to justify his law-enforcement credentials to the FBI as their analysts and profilers take Crooked Creek, Indiana, by storm. But Father Solomon is hiding secrets of his own. Ones that threaten to rise to the surface as the murders continue and the investigation draws nearer to the truth. As the killer begins to escalate, Father Solomon finds that even the innocent have dark sides and trust might be the deadliest weapon of all.

Wonderful dark humor

I bought this as a daily deal not expecting much. As others have said, WOW just WOW truly entertaining, It's hard to say much without spoilers, so go along with all the good reviews this book is worth a credit.

A Deranged Serial Killer

The derogatory portrayal of a Catholic priest had him commuting adultery, frequently cursing, and playing loose with the sanctity of the confessional. He also served a the local sheriff. I nearly quit listening to the book.

The book also portrays the FBI as inept and bombastic.

The ending was entirely unexpected.

Decent Story but...

This was a decent story but... If I say more it would be a spoiler. Narration was good and there are a few teists.

Twisty Tale

My first thought was What An Odd Book. But hang in there. It is very quirky.

Unexpected!

This book is far from my typical audiobook genre but I took a chance on it. It had some of the best twists I have ever heard. And the narrator CRUSHED this! Perfect voice, tone and pacing

Wow

At first it seems like a pretty mundane story. Although the idea of a priest was also in share is interesting.. But their surprises are plenty just keep listening to the end. Recommend it

Wicked !

This was way better than expected, a creative, wicked small town murder story. Yes, it is not high art, but an engaging twisty story, well narrated as well.

Never know who to trust

Loved this book and the plain and simple way the narrator read it. Makes horrific acts sound rational. There are surprises that are unexpected and we’ll-developed characters. I highly recommend.
