The perfect family. The perfect house. The perfect life. All gone now. What could cause a man, when all the stars of fortune are shining upon him, to suddenly snap and destroy everything he has built? This is the question that haunts Sergeant Ryan DeMarco after the wife and children of beloved college professor and bestselling author Thomas Huston are found slaughtered in their home. Huston himself has disappeared and so is immediately cast as the prime suspect. DeMarco knows--or thinks he knows--that Huston couldn't have been capable of murdering his family. But if Huston is innocent, why is he on the run? And does the half-finished manuscript he left behind contain clues to the mystery of his family's killer?

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Sourcebooks Landmark for the free electronic ARC of this novel, received in exchange for an honest review. Randall Silvis is a new author for me but this is not my first go around with this kind of novel I love suspense reads. the introduction was a beautiful blueprint, I loved Ryan DeMarco as a character I felt that his portrayal of what a police officer goes through while engrossed in a case is spot on. I however did not connect well with professor Huston. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the story I actually did. What I loved was that the novel is told from the points of view of both Thomas Huston and Ryan DeMarco. The whole time while I was reading this I didn't know who committed these gruesome murders. It is a puzzle with both protagonist in the center while we the readers are fed each piece slowly to make sure we enjoy the read as a whole. I felt that the story started off great and held my interest. I think the best part of it was you will never guess who actually did it. I will not compare it to other books what I will say is that it is a good way to spend an hour or two if your poison of choice is a good thriller. Even though this was a three-star read for me I will be buying more from this author to see how he progresses.
