The Family Man, as the press has nicknamed him, searches for a single mom and child to become, his distorted view, of a family of his own. But when they fail to treat him as he sees his due – he rapes, brutalizes and kills the mother and then with a silenced gun kills the child.

Holly Jennings is the San Diego PD’s lead CSI, determined to find and stop this psychopath.

This thriller is a page-turner. A serial killer with a cop that fights and fights to find him and remove him. And, when she finds him, or maybe he finds her, there is a new wrinkle that will have the hair on your neck standing up. For those who like a thriller with a mystery with solid clues you can follow along, I highly recommend this story. ( )

This book is a very well-balanced mix of crime and romance.
Holly Jennings is Crime Scene analyst for the San Diego police department. There have been two cases of murder of a child and a mother, with the perpetrator becoming known as "The Family Man" by the media.
Holly is a widowed mother of a daughter, Chloe, who was born after her father was killed in an explosion. Jack and Holly were both involved in law enforcement. Holly has had a hard time moving on personally with her life, not wanting to become involved with anyone without feeling that she is betraying her dead husband.
Her daughter has a best friend who's father is a veterinarian. Holly is feeling really good about this man and is growing closer to him and both of his daughters. He is also a single parent.
The crimes take on a personal aspect with Holly at one point and things start to get really involved. You must read to find out how.
I thought this novel as so rounded. Very enjoyable and nice to see a very strong woman as the main character. ( )

Daddy's Home is a chilling psychological suspense thriller that will keep you sitting on the edge of your seat. The storyline is well written, it's non-stop action has so many twists and turns that it keeps the reader guessing what will happen next. The author weaves an intriguing story that drew me in from the beginning, and as the plot picked up I felt like I became an investigator, I wanted to help Holly solve this case and bring the killer to justice. The author provides realistic, strong and complex characters that are a lot of fun to get to know. I loved how the author made Holly such a strong capable criminalist, I was intrigued by her ability to work the case, especially how she profiled the killer and was determined to get him. I also loved how the author infused romance into the story, it wasn't over the top and it provided a great balance for all the heart-palpitating suspense that was the majority of the story. As a big murder mystery suspense thriller fan, I thought that the author's attention to detail was masterful, she provides the reader with a gripping look into the sick mind of a psychopath, and her description of the workings of a police department's crime scene investigation was top notch.

Daddy's Home is one gripping suspenseful page-turner of a thriller that is a must read. If you are a fan of the suspense thriller genre, this book is guaranteed to give you goose bumps, it is that good.
