Synopsis: Absolum "Abbie" Kearney, a Harvard educated police detective with the Buffalo, NY police department,  is called in to investigate the death of inside of a church.

Second, the body count starts to add up. Third, the killings go deeper than even Abbie could imagine.
 
My rating: 4 Stars
 
My opinion: It is very hard to impress me, but I loved this book. With how much I read, I am really getting bored with story lines that have the same "theme". The story line was incredibly unique and laid out well. There were a couple of moments in the book that I didn't feel were laid out well or had a "yeah, right!" feeling to them but not enough to really knock the book down in my opinion.

The characters and the pulse of the book was written so well that I would love to see this become a series. It is definitely one I would stalk the author to see when new releases were coming out!

I enjoyed the narrator of the audio book, as well. He separated out the "character's voices" well and kept the book going at an appropriate "clip".
