Book Reviews of Badlands: A Novel of Suspense
Book Review: A pretty good thriller.
Summary: 3 Stars
Runaway girls are turning up brutally murdered, in various bizarre ways, in the city of Philadelphia. Detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balazano are on the case, trying to hunt down the sadistic killer.
I thought Badlands was a pretty good thriller. Having read a number of books in this series, I think the Byrne/Balzano partnership works quite well. The plot held my interest throughout, as the detectives try to track down this particularly nasty killer, before he can strike again. Overall, not quite a page turner, but worth a look.
Summary of Badlands: A Novel of Suspense
A teenage runaway?s body is found in the basement of a rancid tenement building in the desolate, dangerous North Philly district dubbed the Badlands. The inexplicable cause of death: drowning. Months later, this dormant homicide case stirs back to life. A confession to the bizarre murder sends Philadelphia police detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano rushing to make an arrest. But what they find will chill these hardened veterans to the bone. As the body count grows, a terrifying design literally takes shape. Pieces of a gruesome puzzle are being set into place by a madman using the city as his game board. His playthings are the innocent, and his opponents?and pawns?are Byrne and Balzano, who must, before time runs out, decipher the truth about a shadowy house of horrors and its elusive master.Literature & Fiction Books
