"The Study of A Sociopathic Killer"
Dr. Jeremy Balint has
achieved a lot as a doctor and family man, and everyone sees him as a model professional
in the medical field; a man who has everything. But under all that makeup is a
sociopath, a person who can turn evil while doing good deeds. When he discovers
his wife is having an affair with a fellow doctor, he decides to kill him. But
knowing the police might suspect him immediately, he plans out a series of
murders, leaving clues of emerald ribbons at each murder scene, and now the
police suspect a serial killer, leaving a way open to kill his wife’s lover.
This was an interesting
story, but no mystery to it, and was a bit boring. It is a good study on
sociopathic killers, as we get into the mind of Dr. Balint as he plans and
carries out each murder. And that, alone, is reason to read this novel. Highly
recommended.

of THE MAN IN THE BLACK FEDORA
Appel writes in many genres. Personally, I think the book Wedding Wipeout, a mystery with a Rabbi as a sleuth is probably his best, or at least his most entertaining boo.
