I couldn't decide whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. The first half of the book seemed a little hard to follow. I am not sure if I was distracted while reading it, or if the plot just jumped around too much.
The second half of the book was very exciting. Once the action moved to Las Vegas, it seemed to get much better, and I was excited to read more.
When we finally find out the identity of the killer, it is a big WTF moment. It seemed to just come out of the blue. I don't know if that was the author's point, that you never know what is going on with others, and anyone could be a killer.
Overall, it was a pretty good book. Especially since I was able to download it to my kindle for free. ( )

Pretty decent read but there were some things within the book that I found boring.. others messed it up for me.. (Like figuring out the killer halfway through the book and then being right) I like a mystery but I also like for it to remain a mystery. Other than that it was definitely a 3.5 star read! ( )

KILLING HOPE (Gabe Quinn #1), by Keith Houghton is an entertaining detective crime suspense mystery, with a cop back at work after a tragedy, and driven to catch a serial killer.

After the murder of his wife, celebrity cop, Gabe Quinn is back on the scene to solve a case of a serial killer with cryptic clues left at each crime scene. The killer, (Undertaker) is a neat freak, and obsessive compulsive and targeting Gabe.

When the same style killings show up in Vegas, Gabe finds himself more involved in the murders than he dared imagine, becoming a personal game compelling him to question his own beliefs.

KILLING HOPE was the first book I have read by Houghton and look forward to reading more. Houghton, definitely keeps readers guessing until the very end. The book started a little slow; however, as you get further along, picks up speed. The narrator, David Doersch had a nice southern voice; however, sometimes when he changed voices could be a little annoying.

Killing Hope. Keith Houghton. 2011. (Gabe Quinn Thriller #1). There are enough plot twists and turns in this Kindle Thriller to fill several novels! Detective Quinn is on the trail of a serial killer he calls The Undertaker. Regardless of what he does, the killer manages to stay two steps ahead of Quinn and begins to make Quinn look like a fool. Quinn follows him to Las Vegas and the violence of the murders intensifies, each one more horrible than the last. The climax is a shocker to me and I suspect other readers. This is an exciting book but I am not ready to compare Quinn to Jack Reacher just yet or Houghton to Chandler. And I do not like the fact that you should have to read this novels before the next. Each novel in a series should stand alone. ( )

Gabe Quinn is a fantastic character. He is not perfect, but that is what makes him a great lead in this book. The author lets us into Quinn's past bit by bit until all is finally revealed and we see what makes this man do what he does. It is easy to see Houghton loves to shock his readers, as there is an ending that is one of the most creative twists I have ever read in a mystery/police thriller. I am hoping this is just the beginning to a long list of Quinn mysteries. ( )
