Read the book before reviewing it.
"Deviant Ways" the first novel by a young Chris Mooney.
?Deviant Ways? is a very imaginative, scary, and fast moving thriller. The characters were well developed, with clear relationships and histories. Their personal strengths and weakness? held throughout the storyline.
The villain (?Gabriel LaRouche, aka the Sandman?) was very disturbing character. He has no compassion or fear, making him a constant torment and threat. His over-kill for sadistic torture and physical violence create a hell on earth for his victims and his pursuers alike.
The main hero (?Jack Casey?) is drawn into the villain?s web by his profession history and traumatic memories for earlier crimes.
I believe that most thriller and mystery readers will find Mr. Mooney?s first work very entertaining. I am looking forward to reading his other works.
