Chronicle To Books State of Mind
A professor of abnormal psychology, Jeffrey Clayton struggles with a dark past. Twenty-five years before, Jeffrey and his mother and sister fled his tyrannical father - a man who was later suspected in the heinous murder of a young student. Though the father was never charged, he committed suicide. Or so it seemed. Since then Jeffrey's mother and his sister, Susan, have concealed themselves in the remote tangled swamps of the Upper Keys, where Susan creates word games for Miami Magazine. But someone has sent her a cryptic note. Once deciphered, it carries a terrifying message: I have found you. At the same time, a serial killer has invaded a community whose citizens seek a haven of old-fashioned values. And one new-fashioned guarantee: unconditional safety. But no one is safe from this intruder - who murders young girls in unspeakable ways. Is Jeffrey Clayton's father the source of this latest killing spree? The authorities think so - and they present Jeffrey with an ultimatum: Find the butcher responsible for the newborn spate of carnage. Find your father.

not as good, futuristic and depressing4.5 stars
I don't know how to feel about this book. Katzenbach has this thing with his books, where sometimes it goes so fast and you're so into it, but it also goes slow, and you feel the need to rest for a while before continue. For some reason I felt the latter a lot with this book, I don't know, maybe is the season, maybe the fact that I have so much to read... who knows. I did enjoy it thou, specially the ending.
One of Katzenbach top works. Good story, good narrative and manages to stay credible for the whole tale.
Good storyline, quite predictable ending. Way too much unnecessary description for character development. The book was good enough, but it felt that at least 30% of it wasn't necessary for the actual storytelling.
It definitely doesn't touch the footfingers of "THe Psicoanalyst" but it is good.State 51 structure, policies and philosophy is quite interesting.Curtain family is quite thrilling.Diana is more than a super hero.Jeffrey Clayton could've been much better "Dead Profesor" when dealing with his father. Theory says they are psichological experts, so know how to handle them, what motivates them. He doesn't take advantage of it at all.
Exciting to read. First half of the book was a bit tedious for me, because I don't know, I somehow expected it to have way more deaths and stuff, but it's probably just me. I mean, Katzenbach gave us a lot of girls killed, but we weren't actually there when the killings occurred if you know what I mean. I just expected a tiny bit more.Amazing book tho.
