Once I began reading The Sixth Phase, I had trouble putting it down. The book centers around the investigation of a serial killer, and flashes often from the killer's viewpoint to the investigators' methodical search. While I knew from the beginning the killer's identity, there were surprises galore throughout the novel. The last 50 pages inspired some serious heart-pounding as a suspenseful ending played out. While I had my suspicions as to the finale about halfway through the book, I nonetheless was surprised to find I was right. This book is definitely not for the weak-hearted, but if you enjoy a good quickening of your pulse, be sure to pick it up!

this book was OUTSTANDING! While some of it was kinda gruesome the book has a great story to it. Finally we have some characters that actully seem human. For instance Detective McQueen says "yes sir" to his commanders and tries to show respect for them when most detectives in other books show disrespect. Do you really think cops go around disrespecting their commanders--hardly. Anyway this book is worth the money!

There are some books you cannot put down, and this is one of them. I picked it up and read the first couple of chapters, and I was hooked. The story continues to pull you in when the antagonist is brought into the story, and it all continues to keep you on the edge of your seat, with a thrilling ending to the story that will keep you asking for more.

Better story (do NOT prematurely read the final paragraph!) than Randisi's "Alone With the Dead", but the characters are not as compelling, with the exception of the bad guy. I was pulled into his head. Perhaps Randisi needs to do more research on the local setting, which in this case would bind his readers to the NYC streets. This mystery could have taken place anywhere.

This book was a great thrill ride. I loved the book and its great twists and turns. James Patterson better move over because there is a new great suspense writer on the block. Enjoy this book!
