   This book was excellent In fact the whole three book series The Dying Hour, Every Fear and A Perfect Grave was excellent Glad I read them in order Though, each book could stand alone I m just sorry the series ended with just three books The primary characters Jason Wade, and his father Henry are realistic, and affable The stories wonderful and complex I would greatly enjoy revisiting these characters ten years later.

   It got off to a slow start and I began to think I might not finish it, but once things started to get moving, the pace tension kept building nicely The plot was woven together neatly from several threads of the lives of seemingly unconnected characters and without giving too much away although it became fairly obvious whodunnit from about midway through the story, that didn t detract from my enjoyment of how it all played out.

   I enjoyed this suspenseful book The story flowed at a good pace and I liked the main character, reporter Jason Wade I also liked the supporting storylines especially the one about Jason s dad, an ex Seattle cop and the one about Brady, the young boy who needs an expensive brain surgery I plan to read from Rick Mofina.

   2.5 stars Maybe I was a bit distracted when I read this but I just couldn t get into it It was my least favorite book of the trilogy Were there too many cliches Perhaps A saintly nun who works with prisoners and homeless people is brutally murdered and our intrepid reporter, Jason Wade, is hot on the heels of the story So we have the poor beleaguered reporter, his beastly editor who is constantly on his back, his police officer on and off girlfriend who is not cooperating and feeding him info, t [...]

   I do not usually write a review on books I have read However I may begin to do this now I did enjoy the book and for the most part was trying to find odds and ends of time to steal away and see what was going to happen next While the book kept me interested, I felt like there were many, many characters brought in without a good description For me a little description of who we are talking to and about is important when there are so many people in the book Character development is important for m [...]

    I like this author I have read several of his books and none have been overloaded with sex and or obscenities His writing mechanics are excellent, and he is my favorite writer of thrillers I am usually struck by the symbiotic relationship he creates between the press and the law, especially in the present book Jason Wade, a criminal law reporter, works hand in glove with the legal powers that be to solve an ard car heist that occurred twenty five years in the past Readers, get ready for a thrill [...]

    Another fantastic Jason Wade story Ok, so parts of each of Jason s stories get me upset because he has been lied on, lied to, and used by The Mirror, the Seattle paper for which he writes news stories Jason wants to report truth, not lies, and his editor doesn t care how the story is put together as long as his paper reports it first Sounds a lot like today s news world However, Jason is a guy we want and need to see win, come out on top He gets his story in the end with an exceptional story thr [...]

    Really good readI received this as a free e book, and I read a lot of e books, but this one was different The writing was excellent and the characters were believable Although I had figured out some aspects of the mystery about 3 4 s of the way into it I had not guessed them all With any good book, the issues were resolved and believable Thanks, and now to read the other books in this series.

    Usually when I read a book that includes a reporter character, I spend a lot of mental energy trying to ignore all of the glaring errors of what it s like to get a story together That was not the case with this novel He did a great job of accurately albeit dramatically portraying a city crime reporter s life The editor was a POS and I d totally be sending out resumes if I worked for him, but again not unbelievable Oh, and the overall story was engaging and fast paced.

    Mofina writes a good crime novel In this one, a journalist and a policewoman are racing against each other and occasionally in support of each other to find the guy who murdered a beloved nun that worked in prisons and shelters Turns out she had something of a past before she became a nun, and it caught up with her The events of 25 years before took a toll on all the others who had been involved at the time.

    An entertaining read I wasn t able to guess the plot as it was expertly woven amongst three different story lines Rather slow getting going, too slow for me, but then raced to its conclusion At this point I enjoy the other Seattle detective J.P Beaumont over Jason Wade, perhaps because I m closer in age to J.P wink.

    Starts slow but increases pace to an exciting endThe story didn t grab me at first, but about a third of the way in, it kicks in and doesn t stop I liked that the story built clue by clue, and all the plot lines tied together nicely in the end I wish he would write in the series.

    Really enjoyed this I read the first of the Jason Wade trilogy last year, having not read any of Mofina s work previously, and read the following two books since the new year Always very well written apart from the odd typo I do enjoy the intrigue and suspense that arises in them The main characters are likeable and have plenty of depth I d love there to be a follow up
