Product Description

Ten years ago CSI Darby McCormick investigated a sinister child abduction case.

Today, the missing child is back from the dead and holding his family hostage.

He makes only one demand. Bring me Darby McCormick ...

Charlie Rizzo has his family at gunpoint and when Darby arrives to defuse the scene, she finds him horrifically mutilated, with a mask of human skin sewn in place over his own face. Within minutes, a group of men disguised as SWAT officers bursts in and releases deadly Sarin gas, killing the Rizzo family outright and leaving Darby herself barely alive.

Where has Charlie Rizzo been held all these years? Who are The Twelve who have been executing this gruesome torture? And why are the FBI running scared in the face of this particular, chilling episode? Darby is facing the toughest case of her career ... and, as the body count rises, one that will bring her into great personal danger and leave her in fear of losing her mind, if not her soul. For the Soul Collectors are the monsters from your worst nightmares.

I had never read Chris Mooney before but followed my Amazon recommendation and took a chance. I was not disappointed. This exciting thriller holds the reader from start to finish - I really must stop beginning to read at midnight.....it was so hard to put down but I managed to finish it the next day. This book is certainly thriling and complex - all the elements for a really good detective novel. I recommend this to anyone who likes a good Deaver thriller! The Soul Collectors

An unreal thriller. 26 Jan 2011
By KarlB
Format:Paperback
I was unaware of Chris Mooney until I took a chance on Soul Collectors based on the cover and blurb whilst browsing the book section of the local supermarket. Although not of the usual genre that I read (being mostly horror, something which Mooney may be a fan of too since he name-drops Stephen King at least twice in this book) it appeared gruesome enough for it to sit within my comfort zone - in this regard I was not disappointed. Sticking with the positives; I believe Mooney to be a capable author and the book hurtles along at a fast pace with plenty of action along the way. Although I understand this book to be Darby's fourth outing, to Mooney's credit, the story does stand alone; I never felt bemused by the numerous mentions to her past. Certainly, it was entertaining enough to keep me reading it from beginning to end.

On to the negatives and the reasons for only 3 stars. I appreciate a certain amount of poetic license in order to create a gripping and entertaining story but, just as other reviewers have mentioned, everything about this book is simply unbelievable. From the indestructible female lead who may as well have been a cyborg; to the evil, kidnapping and murderous cult that have operated undetected for decades. Also I fear for the safety of the USA if its Secret Service and FBI are anything like their depiction in the book, apparently not one member is a match to Darby either intellectually or in combat. As for Mooney likening characters to actual movie stars, at best its lazy writing otherwise it could be considered a blatant attempt to solicit a movie option and even going so far as to cast the characters.

Like me, Mooney appears to have had no idea how the story would end so we are left with the final 50-100 pages hurriedly written with no conclusion. Perhaps this is to lead into another book - I'm not sure I'll bother looking out for it.

In summary, The Soul Collectors would probably appeal more to the hardcore Mooney fans. Anyone else should probably borrow one of his earlier works before reading this.

really disappointing 26 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
Very talented writer but this is so overblown that it just loses all credibility and I just flipped through the second half. I loved Mr Mooneys first books but I wish he had never seen CSI.
