I had to request to add this one to the goodreads database! It wasn’t on there, when I first searched for it.

SYNOPSIS

The inspiration for evil may hold the key to murder in this edge-of-your-seat story from Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Jeffery Deaver.

Life appears to imitate art when a series of sadistic murders grips the city. Investigating the carefully orchestrated killings, Detective Gene Tripp and his partner discover that the perp might have been inspired by the best-selling novels and stories of popular thriller author Brody Pierce. Or has the demon of writer’s block driven Brody himself to step over the line between fiction and reality and exploit the dark side of his imagination?

As the detectives race to uncover the truth before more people die, they learn that perhaps yet another boundary has been crossed: That between real life and the supernatural.

REVIEW

This was a short listen, but I was bored a few times.

I thought the premise was cliche. The investigation felt a little pointless (the detectives ran around in circles while the podcaster retrieved clues for them) There was nothing interesting about Brody Pierce. I didn’t understand why his wife chose to be with him, or why he had so many fans.

The ending was the best part. Overall, not a bad read.
