Summary

Johnny Angel is found brutally murdered with a dead prostitute in his bed and a needle full of heroin in his arm. It’s all the more shocking because he’s a priest. But when Dr Bennett Marc Crane, a prestigious plastic surgeon, is the next victim of a vicious attack of the same manner, it becomes clear that there is a serial killer on the loose… And as this homicidal maniac exacts his vengeance upon more innocent victims, evidence of another long-buried crime is uncovered. One that starts with a Halloween celebration at an exclusive college party 20 years ago and ends with a murderous plan for delayed revenge. For Nicky Stella, a hungry journalist, this is just the sort of sordid story that could land him a cover article. But when he digs a bit too deep, the killer’s attention turns towards Nicky and he must find the killer before he becomes the next victim…

waste of a good credit

What would have made The Violet Hour better?

Too much of everything needed to make this book better

What was most disappointing about Richard Montanari’s story?

I found everything about this book disappointing

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of William Hope?

dont know

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

not really

Any additional comments?

have only read a couple of montanari's books, but have loved them so am quite surprised this was so bad will probably give one more book of his a try and if is similar to this would maybe not bother with his work again ecpected more feel let down
