When I saw this book as part of Innovative Online Book Tours, I was thrilled. I read the first Duke Becker book, Murder by Silence, and loved it so I jumped at the chance to review Murder by Prophecy. Which brings me to an important disclaimer: I did receive a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Okay, disclaimers out of the way, let's get to the meat of it!
The Prophet stops at nothing to avenge the deaths. Will Inspector Duke Becker and his squad from Special Investigations Homicide be able to stop the Prophet and the reasons behind the killings before more die?
I read a lot of mysteries/thrillers and there aren't many authors who can surprise me but Gary Kassay did just that. The murders are carefully crafted and plausible, but definitely kept me guessing. I found the search for the killer exciting and well-paced. The Prophet is a deliciously twisted villain and Duke's pursuit is nothing short of inspired. Also, I loved the deeper insight into Duke's character that his marriage provides. All in all, Mr. Kassay did a masterful job with Murder by Prophecy. I recommend it to all fans of the genre. It's a real page turner. Can't wait for the next Duke Becker novel!
