zeemonodee 's review for:
The Finders: A Mystery
by Jeffrey B. Burton
When I opened this book, I had no idea why I'd requested it in the first place, but since I had gotten a review copy, I figured I'd give it a shot. While I love this kind of TV show or movie, I'm not usually a fan of reading them... Goes in way too deep into the darkness of the serial killer mind, I suppose, and all the hurt these poor dogs go through in the tale - believe me, if your heart isn't solid, this isn't the book for you. I was almost tempted to stop reading in the very first chapter when Vira is found as a puppy and believed to be dead... Didn't think I would be able to stomach it, to be honest. Got past that to then have the German Shepherd critically injured... Goodness me! Strong heart, I tell you (though both dogs make it out okay).
This was a good story, not without its pitfalls, but it held the line pretty much. I hadn't been expecting the hero to be this young, though (he's barely 30, I believe), which was novel but also made the book a bit juvenile at times. Also, there was too much serial killer POV in this one, which kinda peeved me because I wasn't there to read about the bad guy, just how he got caught.
On the whole, good elements, and you'll love it if this is your kind of read. Still, strong heart if you're an animal lover - you'll need it!
