Book Reviews of Prior Bad Acts

Book Review: This deserves higher than 5 stars.....
Summary: 5 Stars

I have read all of Hoag's books to date, and although she gets better with each one, I have to say Prior Bad Acts is awesome and the best one she has written thus far. Her characters are extremely believable as are their lives as she writes them. It was so hard for me to put down the book (audio)and I actually took extra time to put on the house alarm more often during reading this. It brought to mind how easily some of these acts could be committed without the villain ever being caught, especially in today's world. Having the story take place in actual locations enabled the reader to picture occurences taking place rather than having to imagine similarities of locations, which has always been one of Hoag's strong suits. I could go on and on with praise for this book, but suffice to say that it is one of the best I have EVER read and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys not just Hoag's books but a very realistic, nail-biting, fast moving and superbly written piece of fiction.

Summary of Prior Bad Acts

New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag returns with a thriller that begins with a shocking crime scene you?ll never forget and follows two relentless detectives on a manhunt that ends in a chilling confrontation with the essence of human evil.

It was a crime so brutal, it changed the lives of even the most hardened homicide cops. The Haas family murders left a scar on the community nothing can erase, but everyone agrees that convicting the killer, Karl Dahl, is a start. Only Judge Carey Moore seems to be standing in the way. Her ruling that Dahl?s prior criminal record is inadmissible raises a public outcry?and puts the judge in grave danger.

When an unknown assailant attacks Judge Moore in a parking garage, two of Minneapolis?s top cops are called upon to solve the crime and keep the judge from further harm. Detective Sam Kovac is as hard-boiled as they come, and his wisecracking partner, Nikki Liska, isn?t far behind. Neither one wants to be on this case, but when Karl Dahl escapes from custody, everything changes, and a seemingly straightforward case cartwheels out of control.

The stakes go even higher when the judge is kidnapped?snatched out of her own bed even as the police sit outside, watching her house. Now Kovac and Liska must navigate through a maze of suspects that includes the stepson of a murder victim, a husband with a secret life, and a rogue cop looking for revenge where the justice system failed.

With no time to spare, the detectives are pulled down a strange dark trail of smoke and mirrors, where no one is who they seem and everyone is guilty of Prior Bad Acts.
