A Cleverly Crafted Whodunit! 5 Stars
A serial killer is on the loose, terrorizing the unsuspecting citizens
of rural Hanson, British Columbia. Dubbed the "Birthday Boy" by the
media, the sadistic menace chooses to target only women on their
birthdays. As his horrific crusade escalates, Birthday Boy soon falls
square in the sights of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - that is,
only if Jack Staal doesn't get to him first. Anxious to solve what will
surely prove to be the biggest case of his career, Staal strives to stay
one step ahead of the Mounties in his pursuit to uncover the Birthday
Boy's true identity and bring an end to his reign of terror...of course,
that's only if he manages to avoid becoming the crazed killer's latest
victim...
With taut, gripping action and a pulsing storyline, Dead Of Knight
is a can't miss mystery thriller. The skillfully penned narrative from
author William Potter shifts seamlessly from the perspective of cop to
killer as the action unfolds, ensuring that readers stay on their toes
with each fresh turn of the page. Furthermore, Potter masterfully
maintains the suspense of his tale with a series of ingenious twists and
turns along the way, treating the reader to a cleverly crafted whodunit
with the capacity to befuddle even the most discerning of mystery
buffs. As a result, Dead Of Knight succeeds brilliantly where many other
offerings in the genre often fail, all without having to pander or
overreach in order to do so.
Fast-paced and engaging, Dead Of Knight is an equally enlightening
and entertaining read. Kudos to Potter for crafting such a compelling
instant classic sure to be hailed for years to come.
