Format:Mass Market Paperback
The first book I read by Kevin O'Brien was Only Son, after reading that I immediately bought the rest of his books, this one was absolutely fantastic, once I started reading I carried on till I finished it, I just could'nt put it down, the writing is very fast paced and you can hardly wait to turn the pages, he is a superb writer, you wont be disapointed in any of his books.

It pulls you in and never lets go!
1 Sep 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This latest Kevin O'Brien thriller, LEFT FOR DEAD, flows very nicely. It has a fascinating premise -- the only surviving victim of a serial killer has amnesia. This poses an amazing scenerio. Her life is in grave danger because she is the only person that can identify the killer, but she only remembers things in bits and pieces, and doesn't know who to trust. In theory, this should be a 5-star book, but I seemed to figure out the ending less than halfway through. Many of the clues and paranoid character traits tipped me off. I also found a dozen or more spelling and grammatical error that annoyed me. Nevertheless, it was a wild, suspenseful ride and I definitely recommend this book. On a personal note, I very much appreciated Kevin using my name as one of the characters. It made my day. Thanks, Kevin. As I said five books ago, you have a fan for life.

Don't let it happen to You!!!!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This writer just keeps getting better and better. It has a lot of twists and turns in it. One minute you think this is what happened and then the next minute you think something different and it is another outcome.
This is one of the most best selling elements to reading a good suspense book is to keep the reader guessing and I can honestly say without any hesitation that this is what the writer of this book does.
This book is good for those who love good mysteries, fiction about amnesiac victims and make sure you are not home alone at night while readint this. It is very scary without being gross.

Page-Turning Thriller
23 Feb 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I started this at home one day while sick. I was immediately hooked. By nightfall, not only was I feeling better, I had finished the entire thing. Disregard the poor reviews for this book, which are incomprehensible. This is psychological suspense of the first order; if, like me, you're a fan of Stephen White and Lisa Gardiner but have exhausted those authors, give Kevin O'Brien a spin. I look forward to reading other novels by Mr. O'Brien. In "Left for Dead", he convincingly creates the Pacific Northwest setting of the San Juan islands region, in a multilayered plot. In Washington State, a serial killer is on the loose; nicknamed "Rembrandt" because each of his victims have been found heavily made-up, with a plastic bag over their heads to preserve his handiwork, this cunning killer, a Ted-Bundy like charmer, is abducting young women at an alarming rate. His calling card: each time, a pair of women's panties is left displayed at the scene of the abduction. When a woman is found shot in the chest and left for dead in a junkyard, it looks like the Rembrandt killer has left a survivor. Only problem is, she has no memory of being abducted or anything from the past several years. She doesn't even know her own name. Christened "Jane Doe", she begins to piece together memories, bit by bit. But Rembrandt is still out there. Can she remember enough to help the police catch him before she becomes his next victim . . .again?
