Victor Methos has written a lot of books. I mean really a lot of books. But The Silent Watcher is my 1st. Will I read any more of his books? I would say...Yes! This is especially true because TSW wraps up a case but hints at a follow-up. It's Book 1 of his new series, Vegas Shadows.
So what is this book about? The Silent Watcher takes place in Las Vegas. The two main protagonists are a male detective, Lazarus, and a female guardian ad litem (GAL), Piper, who worked as an attorney for a large law firm until she decided to become a GAL. They become very involved with a 15-year old girl whose mother and brother were savagely murdered by a serial killer, nicknamed The Creeper.
This is definitely NOT a romantic comedy (like ICE ICEMaybe, the last book I reviewed)! There are obviously some scenes that are not fun to read. However, there is a lot more to this book than just tracking down a bad guy. There are some very good scenes in the courtroom (Methos is, after all, an attorney). And there are quite a few supporting characters for Lazarus and Piper. I'm very much looking forward to Book 2!
