Once I started the Butterfly Man, it held my attention completely. The characters are developed well and the story is fascinating. Necessarily, in a book about hunting a serial killer, some parts are not for the squeamish as the author is very good at detail.

If you enjoy a book that gives insight to police work and their hunt for the evils that walk among us; this one is for you. The book was perfect for a couple of relaxing days while camping.

One of my all-time favorite police story books, makes you keep turning the pages as it is hard to put down. As an old time Joe Wambaugh fan, I find this book both more suspenseful with the right amount of humor. A definate "must buy".

Butterfly Man is a riveting story that draws you into the fast-moving account of the life and thoughts of a serial killer as he practices and perfects his private ritual of torment. When a potential hero is introduced - the man who could bring to an end the torture and death - you find yourself devouring the story from the edge of your seat as you anticipate the best result and fear the worst.

With a number of our family members in law enforcement, I particularly enjoyed De Laby's style - which literally made it impossible to put the book down until I had finished it. A classic police work novel written in a unique, hard-hitting style that gives it more punch and credibility - while at the same time lacing it with good humor. A definite recommendation for anyone looking for a real action book. I can't wait for his next release.

This book was excellent. Has murder, mystery, lots of laughs, and a hint of love interest. I recommend this book to anyone who likes Grisham or Wambaugh.

Delaby completely blows Baldacci, Grisham, Wambaugh, Cook, Sheldon, et. al. away with this most gripping crime thriller.

This is practically impossible to put down.

Ron Delaby is a a Master Storyteller and, as a true fan of criminal and psychological thrillers, I have to rate this book as best I've ever read in this genre. And I've read a heckuva lot.

Looking forward to his next book! (Jon Moreland--main character in this story--really rocks)! And ALL characters richly developed and fascinating, as is the story itself.

Plot amazingly well-woven and nail-biting!! I'd rate this a TEN if the ratings went that high.

Right now I am reading "Boogie" by this author--although not in the "criminal-action-thriller category, it is INCREDIBLY SWEET!
