Book to recommend: Shadow Man by Cody McFadyen

Hey this is a book which I highly recommend!!! I first notice his 2nd book, The Face of Death while browsing in a bookstore. After a brief flip-through, perhaps starting with the 1st would be a better choice and it was:-)

Shadow Man being his first book, dosen't seem like a first to me. Much feelings and thoughts were brought across by simple words. The layout of the story and the intensity of words captivated me.T this book had re-ignite my love for browsing and hunting for hard to put down books! For months before, I was not able to find a good read and this book had really satisfy my hunger:-D

Perhaps I will include a summary of the storyline:
Main character of book, Smoky Barrett works for the FBI. She was hot on the trail of a serial killer, who in-turn surprised her in her home, killing her husband and daughter. When she was deciding to live or blow her brains out, her best friend since high school was murdered and this would lead her to series of events that are going to rattle her entire team... Though there are some parts which are sort of expected but overall, the entire book is packed with emotional charge situations and action too!

The second book, The Face of Death, is even better. The story is dark and sometimes, I have to stop myself from reading between the lines and breaking down the characters, for fear that I will sink! Umm I think I will end this entry here... Might be coming back for another entry about work woes:-(
