Breaking Creed by Alex Kava
I could not put this book down. Honestly. Well...almost. I did put it down a couple of times, to eat and sleep and do those necessary things of a civilized life in the 21st century. But only when I had to!
This was despite it being really gross and depressing in the imaginary killer's methodology. Usually that sort of thriller material puts me off in a mystery novel. And also the use of very short chapters and alternating POV--I tend to dislike those both.
But somehow he pulls it off and made a series that I'm going to race through at breakneck speed and be sad when it's over. The characters are very interesting and seem to have an ability to come to life with very little description and even less self-rumination. They have a backstory, clearly, but it's not shoved in your face or dragged over the ground. It's just there, teasing the present. Very good writing.
