People are predictable. That's what makes them easy to kill.

My Review:
Detective Prosper Snow is in the thick of investigating a series of crimes committed by a killer known only as The Oracle. When one of his old buddies, from his high school group called The Kult, approaches him and the other members with a proposition, things start to get real sticky. They perform a copycat killing for the friend, and all hell breaks loose. Now Prosper must keep the police from finding out the truth about the copycat murder, and must keep a watchful eye out for The Oracle who seems to be gunning for Prosper and all who surround him.
Overall the story was good. I was a bit frustrated because I felt it started out slow, but it did pick up in the middle and the end. It was well written, although I will say it is not for the faint of heart. The murders are a bit graphic. There is a surprise twist in the end (I won't ruin it) but I actually figured it out before it was presented. =)
A thrilling read, that made me want to be a little more cautious about my surroundings.
