Breakneck

Great!

Another edge-of-your-seat thriller from Spindler. Her writing style is easy yet engaging and the well-paced suspense kept those pages turning. I really loved the two female detectives- very well-balanced and realistic characters. But not so overly drawn that they took away from the crime story itself. The computer-hacking crime was easy to understand, not weighed down by techno-garble or too far-fetched. Plenty of red herrings to keep you on your toes and a breath-taking conclusion.

This was a great book from begining to end. At the end of each chapter, the author left me in suspence! I couldnt even put the book down

Deadly Rivals

In this sequel of Copycat, Kitt and M.C. return in this mystery. When Matt Martin is killed, it's up to the detectives to find out why. When it hits close to home for M.C., twice, they try to connect the dots, especially when the FBI is involved. Enthralled into a net of cyberthieves, it's up to Lundgren and Riggio who's in charge of it all. In the middle of winter, it's up to Kitt, who's trying to resuscitate her marriage, and M.C., who's personally involved into this mess, to work together as a team, right to the end. Lots of action-packed chapters to keep you guessing to the very end.

A BIT DISAPPOINTED

This was a very good book. I am just disappointed that ERica has chosen in her last few books to leave out the romance. I love romantic suspense books. I tolerate mysteries.. so please Erica go back to your original way of writing. Nothing was better than your first ten books.

On the edge of My Seat

Erica Spindler wrote a great book. I was on the edge of my seat and could not put this book down. Great job with developing the characters and the plot.

Amazing

I loved this book. Finished it in two days because I couldnt put it down.

Spindler scores again.

You've heard "I couldn't put it down!" It's true! Fast-moving action, a real page turner. Well developed characters. I look forward to the next book with these female detectives.

Break Neck

Another good book that kept me reading by Erica. Although I would say this was very good - I think Erica has had better ones! I always pick up Erica's books as soon as they come out - never disappointing - great writer. I would recommend this book as definitely worthwhile reading!

EXCELLENT!!

Very suspensful! I just love Ericas books. She cannot write fast enough for me. This book had a surprise ending. Just when you think you have it all planned out she changes it up! Great read. Highly recommended!

Here we go again!

Erica Spindler has done it again. Written a really good mystery novel that will have you wondering which Riggio "done it" You are flowing back and forth onto the sea of doubt about everyone in the book until the surprise at the end. Thank you once again Erica.

ERICA SPINDLER AT THE TOP OF HER GAME.

THE DETECTIVE TEAM OF KITT LUNDGEN AND MARY CATHERINE RIGGIO (M.C. FOR SHORT) OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS THAT DEBUTED IN COPYCAT HAS A SECOND GO-ROUND WITH ANOTHER SERIAL KILLER, THIS TIME DUBBED "BREAKNECK". THE VICTIMS' ARE ALL COLLEGE AGE AND STRIKE VERY CLOSE TO HOME FOR M.C. THE SUSPENSE STARTS ON PAGE ONE AND CONTIMUES THROUGHOUT. AS USUAL THE KILLER IS AMONG THE CAST OF CHARACTERS, BUT THE BOOK WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING UNTIL THE THRILLING ENDING. THE LAST 50 PAGES ARE LIKE A ROLLER-COASTER PICKING UP SPEED ON THE DEEPEST DROP OF THE RIDE. MS. SPINDLER HAS CREATED THE BEST SET OF PARTNERS IN THE THRILLER GENRE. KITT IS OLDER AND HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE. M.C. IS YOUNGER AND IS VERY AMBITIOUS. WHAT THEY SHARE IS GREAT CHEMISTRY AND PROFILING SKILLS, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T LABEL THEIR INTUITION AS "PROFILING". WHAT THEY SHARE IS A GREAT INTENSITY TO STOP KILLERS AND PROTECT POTENTIAL VICTIMS. THEY FREQUENTLY ARGUE AND SWAP IDEAS AND THIS IS WHEN THEY START TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER. WHEN THEY GET A HOLD OF A PIECE OF EVIDENCE THEY ARE LIKE PIT-BULLS. THEY WON'T LET IT GO. THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY A GREAT SET OF CHARACTERS. MS. SPINDLER HAS CREATED THE BEST CURRENT CRIME PARTNER TEAM IN THE THRILLER GENRE. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT SHE REALIZES THAT SHE HAS STRUCK GOLD AND ALL OF HER FUTURE BOOKS FEATURE KITT AND M.C.

A Real Thriller

Excellent writing, interesting read. Couldn't put it down.

Another Great Book from Erica Spindler

I have loved her books for over a decade and this one was another one to add to my collection. This was so good I read it in one evening, I could not put the book down. My parents read it that fast also.
Her characters are wonderful and this was a great read!

BREAK NECK

I hve enjoyed erica spindler since the first book i picked up. for me this is especially enjoyable with it set here in rockford. i have already passed it along to others. keep it coming erica

I usually know that i will get a good read from Erica Spindler, but, i was so very disappointed in this book,it was dry, boring, and not like her usual keeping me entranced, i just couldnt get a feel for this book.

I would not recommend this book to anyone, i was highly disappointed in the book, and i felt it lacked real depth, i usually am so intrigued and can lose myself in any book by Erica Spindler, but this one really disappointed me very much. I will still buy her books, as i am hoping that this was just a setback, and hopefully she continues to write suspenseful and intriguing keep me glued to the story pages.

Kept me guessing.

It was the first book I read from her. I liked it I was suprised by the ending it kept me thinking. Can't wait to read some more of her books

Cant put it down

I love her books. Once you start reading them you cant put them down. The story pulls you in and doesnt let you go til the end.

A great whodunnit with a surprise villian!

Typical Spindler - I couldn't put it down! Great characters, quick moving plot, super mystery!

BORING

Unoriginal, Predicatable, book with a scattered storyline and unfeeling characters~Every couple of of chapters someone gets killed and its hard to grasp where the book is headed. Definately not worth the $$ or time-i would reccomend other Erica Spindler books tho like Copycat or anything by Lisa Jackson

An exhilarating thriller

Rockford, Illinois Police Detective Mary Catherine ¿M.C.¿ Riggio is ecstatic when Dr. Dan Gallo proposes; she accepts, which is a big step for her as she has humongous trust issues that has led to commitment phobia. Meanwhile her Violent Crimes Bureau partner Kitt Lundgren looks forward to traveling to Mexico with her ex-husband, hoping they can reach a reconciliation and a future together.

The partners are sent to investigate the death of Matt Martin whose neck was broken. When they arrive they find he was living in luxury well beyond his means and his computer is missing. Matt is a cracker hacker who belongs to a ring of twenty something years old that commit internet crimes. After their engagement party, Dan drives her cousin Tommy home. However when she drives up besides Dan she finds him murdered. MC is determined to work the case and Kitt wants to be there so she delays her Mexican vacation causing a schism with her former spouse. Tommy becomes the next victim, which leads everyone to belie Dan was shot was because of a mistaken identify as Tommy was always the intended victim. Everyone in the Cracker group who brag about their exploits is being eliminated one at a time; leaving anyone close to Tommy like his girlfriend and his brother in danger from a deadly executioner.

As the death toll mounts while also remaining personal, MC feels pressured to solve the case that she should have been excluded from since her fiance and her cousin are victims. Most of the Cracker group see what they do as victimless activities and therefor should not be labeled crime; they choose to ignore the consequences of their actions and how it may impact others. Readers obtain a deep look at some tunnel vision IT geniuses envision the physical and cyber worlds as Erica Spindler provides her usual exhilarating thriller.
