Review

***** "Up there with the greats" I Love New York - (Burns Country), UK
"I am an avid reader of the great crime/thriller writers such as Patterson, Child, Connelly, Lehane etc etc but this book has to rank as being equal to these great authors. It's one of the best books I have read in a long time. The style of writing is every bit up there with top authors and never at any time was there an inkling as to who the killer was. What a gob smacking ending. This author now goes on my list of "those I must look out for". Absolutely brilliant."

***** "Get this book!" J. Scott Sharp - Arizona, USA
"This book was a whirlwind! Once I was caught up in it, I found that I could not stop reading it. I read the last 100 pages in a white hot fury!"
 
***** "New Hammet/Chandler" Jon P. Bloch - Connecticut, USA
"Houghton writes jaw-droppingly well. He has a poet's love of language which he uses to maintain a perfect pitch throughout the tale. This is a book that you can't put down not only because the story has you hooked, but because the author simply dazzles the reader with his writing style."
 
***** "Worth 6 Stars!!" CJ - West Yorkshire, UK
"Have you ever read a novel that is so good, you do not want it to end, but at the same time want to rush through to know what happens? Well, this is one of those books. Upon reading it you can add me to the list of readers who felt it was amazing!!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this book!, January 4, 2012

This review is from: Killing Hope (Gabe Quinn Thriller) (Kindle Edition)

This book was a whirlwind! Once I was caught up in it, I found that I could not stop reading it. I read the last 100 pages in a white hot fury.
Gabriel Quinn is a detective with a heart, a troubled heart, but a heart nonethless. I had no trouble at all putting myself in his place. The best fiction causes one to identify with the character.
This one started slow and then started blasting out unexpected revelations at a blistering pace. I seriously thought I knew who the killer was and then, I was sadly mistaken.
This is a recommendation for a huge voice in thriller writing. Keith Houghton is the man to watch! Thanks, Keith, for such a great read!

I agree with all the other reviews...this book was absolutely FANTASTIC and I LOVED every second of it!!! I had an extremely hard time putting this book down but since I have the Kindle app on my phone, I was able to sneak in as much reading as possible wherever I went.

I also fell in love with Gabe's character right away. There were so many twists and turns in this book. The ending especially blew me away and had my head spinning! I read a lot of crime thrillers so I usually figure out a good bit of what will happen and how things will turn out. But with this book I had no idea what would happen from one page to the next and I was downright shocked all the way to the end. There were certain points where I just couldn't believe what was happening! The way the clues were laid out had me dying to know how everything would come together. I also really loved the style of writing that another reviewer referred to as movie-like.

A lot of crime thrillers are good but forgettable...I will not soon forget "Killing Hope!" I can't wait for the next book! It can't come soon enough!!!

Killing Hope, I am not a crime drama book kinda of a guy but a friend recommended the book to me. I have spent the last three days engrossed in the story. Within the first several chapters you begin to like Gabe, rough, worn down by his past. So many times I thought a had something figured out, and then bam...totally wrong. The characters you meet in the book, some you love and some you HATE kinda bounce around in your head like old friends. No spoilers, but the ending will completely stunning you. I completely recommend this book to any fan of crime drama and even to you that like me are not a big fan of criminal drama.
