Jack King's "Beyond Blood" is an enjoyable read! I watch a lot of police procedurals on TV and I could see Husto's sleuthery fitting right into that mix! That end of the story was my favorite, outlining the police work, the cooperation between different police departments, and just good, solid police work. Particularly in recent years, there doesn't seem to be enough of that. Another part of the story is the "origin story" of a serial killer, which I found to be gritty and, in some places, even disturbing. One thing King did well was providing an explanation without making me feel sympathetic for a truly evil individual, which I also appreciated. I give it four stars for two reasons: one, I saw it coming. Maybe the author showed a little too much of his cards or maybe it's because I watch so much of this on TV, but that's the biggest reason. The other is that I would have liked to see more Husto. Recommended!
