A killer in Seattle is aiming to recreate the nine circles of hell. Detectives Robi Darcmel and Trey Keane are the person's trail knowing that a little girl who had been rescued by Darmel is the key to solving the puzzle.
What I didn't like was that we never knew how the clues were solved by Darcmel.

Gripping and Timely

I received Amber Alert (Empty Crib Mysteries #1) free in return for an honest review. I have read many of Carolyn McCray's and Ben Hopkins' books and I can honestly say this is one of the best. The characters created for this story are very well developed. The relationships that are revealed throughout are both realistic and made me want to see where things were going. I would have liked a little more action with the sisters and I'd like to know more about Harper's past. But I expect those things will come in future books. The story itself is engrossing and kept me guessing, especially during the more shocking parts. All in all a great read leaving me eager for more adventures with this group of characters.

This book collection is a great deal and a great read. I've read previous series by the authors and this one had been sitting in my TBR list for a long time. They warn you about the gruesome murders and not to read this if you have problems with such, and yes, there are a lot of grisly scenes scattered throughout this collection. If you are a fan of CSI or especially Criminal Minds type of TV, this is the set for you. There is plenty of psychological thriller involved in these murder mysteries, all very original plots.

What I ended up liking best out of these books is the characters and how different they were from other books in this genre. When you've read as many of these types of books that I have, things start to seem all the same. Making the main character, Detective Darc, an Asperger's inflicted adult, allows the books stand out from others. It's fun to hear the interaction between Darc and his partner, Trey, as the two of them level each other out. Trey plays the babysitter to Darc originally but soon he is shining in his own way as a charismatic detective. The way the duo communicates and thinks about each other is fun and quirky, and it seems to get their job done in all of their cases.

Along the way through the set of books, this pair meets up with some horrible sickos on murdering sprees. I was always surprised by the ending. The authors do a wonderful job of throwing you off the scent of the murderer just enough to question yourself on who actually did the deed. Reading all of these books back to back like this in one set really let me get the feel for the characters. I was happy to see there is another set of Darc Murders after this one.

The one thing that bothered me off and on throughout the series was that some of the things done seemed impossible or improbable. I found myself shaking my head, saying, "No way" a lot of the time. I just had to stop myself from thinking too hard on it and told myself it is FICTION, so let it go. Otherwise, the books are a fantastic mind vacation. I am looking forward to the next set.

I've read the Nursery Rhymes Collection and the Harbinger 1st series of books by these authors also. I love the way they bring the characters to life by giving them such original personalities. If you liked these books, then you will like those series also.
