I found Funaro quite by accident when his second book (The Impaler) was a free book on Barnes & Noble. So I actually read that first. I enjoyed it so much I had to get the first Sam Markham book. This one is about a serial killer who murders & then poses his victims to look like sculptures by Michaelangelo. I didn't like this book quite as much as The Impaler, but it was still a good, suspensful read. I think my biggest "complaint" with this book is that at times the plot would drag when Markham and Cathy would start talking about the art in great detail. Yes, it helped the story, but at times seemed heavy handed.But with all that being said, I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future. Everyone has certain requirements that must be satisfied before they can move on to enjoy the rest of the novel. I require a basic level of serviceable, if not necessarily good, writing, in order for me to move on to the plot, atmosphere, etc.With this in mind, I knew I was in trouble when I started reading about "half-Asian, half-German smile lines" in mirrors, and other indescribable awkwardness of phrasing and sentence structure, overly-fussy descriptions, and the numerous signs of a very new writer.If such things bother you as well, give this one a miss.
