Summary: Predictable and dull.
Comment: This is my first David Wiltse book, but probably won't be mylast simply because I like the way the man writes. FBI Agent JohnBecker seems like he could be an interesting character (this book hints at a dark past), but in Bone Deep he is given little to do except whine. Captain Luv is an interesting enough character but I knew who he was as soon as Wiltse introduced him, ruining any suspense this book might have had. This makes Bone Deep overlong and boring becuase while the law enforcement officers spend the first 300 pages on the wrong track (Wiltse really wants you to believe it's someone else) the reader is detached because the solution is so obvious. Add to that the fact that every major character is either having an affair or suspecting their partner of having one and you're left with a turgid mess to wade through. There is a reason to read Bone Deep though: David Wiltse knows how to write dialogue. The conversations between Becker and his small town police chief friend are quick witted and true to life.

Summary: Starts out good...
Comment: This is the first (and probably NOT the last) David Wiltse book I've read - I'll probaby read some of his other Becker books. This book started out pretty good - kept my interest and moved along quickly. Then, about 50 pages til the end, it just started to get boring. I had the 'villian' guessed halfway thru the book, it was that predictable. But, I liked the Becker character and his FBI-boss Karen. I will most likely read other books by this author.
Rating: 5
Summary: Hits to the bone
Comment: This is a John Becker book taking place in Connecticut, but a part of the state that most readers are probably not familiar with. Becker traces an egomaniacal killer right in his own home town, one who, ultimately, threatens Becker's wife. Becker is an intriquing character, as always; troubled, gifted, smart, sensitive, absolutely ruthless and blood thirsty when the time comes. And the villain, a murderous seducer, is chilling familiar to any woman, a blind date from hell.
