Summary: Great police drama
Comment: I really enjoyed "Death Instinct". It was a bit different from other Bentley Little books as it was a mystery/police drama. For a good part of the book, I was wondering who the killer was. Of course at some point, it became obvious before the cops figured it out, but still it wasn't too obvious from the start like some books.
The ending was a bit drawn out, but other than that, great book.

Summary: Oldies are the best
Comment: They say, the older books of an author is normally the better ones. This is definitely the case for Mr Little. Comparing this to The Vanishing which I read later, it was a case of Mr Little being thankful that I read this book first. For if it was the other way round, I might have opted to skip all of his other books.
Death Instinct introduces a "savant" to us and it is thrilling in every sense. Little ends every chapter at a point which you cannot stop and you end up finishing the book pretty quickly.
The only low point is that the killer was not kept on wraps long enough, otherwise it would definitely have been a 5 star book. Otherwise, the way Little ravels around characters every chapter and then link them up together is truly one of the areas I am most impressed of.

Summary: Another lurid ride through murder ...
Comment: The "Phoenix Fiend" is loose and killing people .... and not killing them neatly. The macabre and the bizarre seem to surround each murder. Each being unique in method. Each seemingly without motive. The the Phoenix police are stumped.
It all seems up to Lt. Allan Grant, Homicide Division. While wresting with his own mental demons he will ultimately come to a surprising solution with the help of the woman who he is quickly falling in love with.
It is possible for a mentally retarded boy and his crazed mother to the be key to finding the "Phoenix Fiend"? Stay tuned until you get a copy of "Death Instinct".
Lurid. Macabre. Bizarre. Sick. Demented.
And a real page turner.
