Rating:  Summary: Too Many words Review: The follow up To Night Sins has a lot of words and little action. The suspect is in jail awaiting a trail and is proclaiming his innocence. When a second abduction occurs it seems as he may be one criminal who is innocence of the crimes accused. The police department and the FBI agencies keep working on the theory there are two criminals working together. They even try to pin the crimes on the father of the first child and Hoag does a great job of taking up space proving this theory. I wanted more action that would of kept me reading late until the night, sadly I skimmed huge sections of this book waiting for her to get back on track. The ending left me unsatisfied as the whodunit didn't support the evidence trail throughout this book.
Rating:  Summary: Like mysteries? Find another author Review: This book is suspenseful as watching snail races and as exciting as waiting the leaves turn color in the fall. If you are an insomniac, try reading this to put you to sleep. If you like mysteries / thrillers / crime drama, find another author. This one is quite dry, boring, and unconvincing.
Rating:  Summary: Read only after "Night Sins" for full effect. Review: When I read "Night Sins" it ended practically in the middle of a thought - very obviously (thank goodness) a sequel was planned. "Guilty" continues the story developed in the first book and does a good job of following through on the mystery. While I liked the first book better (personal preference, not quality of writing) "Guilty" keeps the suspense going and wraps up the storyline with a totally unexpected ending.Don't try reading this book on it's own - you'd be missing the intensity & mystery developed in the first book.
