- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is book was recommended by a regular reader of this list. Thanks, Sherry! This is Mooney's first novel and it's a great start. Jack Casey used to be an FBI profiler until his job hit too close to home. Now, he's on the force in his hometown and a case raises it all again. There's a creepy serial bomber and an even creepier cast of characters who are working with Casey to solve this case. There were some rough edges and a few leaps of credibility but I'm thinking those were more symptoms of first-time-novel-itis and will be smoothed out with the second effort.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was merely average for me. Mooney didn't make me particularly care about any of the characters or their welfare. I kept expecting a twist, like a mole who was helping the bad guy, but it never came.
