Resumen del Editor

An addictive debut thriller starring a FBI consultant with a peculiar taste for crime and punishment....

A boy vanishes on his way home from school. His frantic mother receives a ransom call: pay or else. It’s only hours before the deadline, and the police have no leads. Enter Timothy Blake, an FBI consultant with a knack for solving impossible cases but whose expertise comes at a price. Every time he saves a life, he takes one, trying to satisfy an urge he fears he can only control for so long.

And this time Blake may have met his match. The kidnapper is more cunning and ruthless than any he’s faced before. And he’s been assigned a new partner within the Bureau: a woman linked to the past he’s so desperate to forget. Because he has a secret, one so dark he will do anything to keep it hidden.

For fans of Hannibal and Dexter, Hangman introduces a darkly mesmerizing character whose skill at finding criminals comes from a knowledge that can only be learned firsthand.

A Wild Ride

this story started slow for me but once I grasped the plot and characters I was hooked. I did figure out the ending before it ended but enjoyed the book very much.

Surprisingly very good 👍

I didn't expect to enjoy this book, since I've had such a hard time with so many lately. But this book was fast paced and had enough twists to keep me interested. It's a great listen!

Great Read!!!

Amazing representation of antagonist/ protagonist. Wished they would give the answers to the riddles. Found this author by accident. I’m aiming to read all of his books

Eye Opener

Eye opener.

Knowing that desecration or mutilation of a corpse, murder and stealing body parts (theft) are against the law and criminal offences, cannibalism is only against the law in Idaho. Which then made me wonder what the heck happened in Idaho to take that extra step. Especially since I live in Idaho.

I liked the ending as well - You don't always get what you want.

Scarey enough to lock your door on a sunny day

Something’s just not right about this dude but he sure has a lot of comical views in life. I gather most people will think think this novel is too bazaar but hey, I live for the bazaar.

I seldom write reviews because I find most stories to be average. I can’t write about average stories. Hughes character Timothy Blake is one scarey dude! He seems very passive in nature but you don’t want to be around him if you’re bleeding. Sometimes I feel empathy for him and then again I’d run away from him if I ever saw him with a fork and knife in his hands. Heath gives you some history of Blake’s upbringing and a small amount as why he craves flesh and blood.
The narrator Ragland totally made this character. Without him I don’t think I would love Blake like I do. He delivers Hugh’s content with the perfect amount of articulations, maybe dictions, he just does it well for Timothy Blake.
Sometimes I think I would like to hang out with Blake. Then again I’d like to know I would be going home afterwards too.
Jack Heath, please write more about your character Blake. I see you have another called, Blake but it’s in German I believe.

Odd, sometimes sickening, and unputdownable!

I’m not a fan of cannibals, but Jack Heath managed to flesh out (no pun intended) his main character beautifully. I had very little ambiguity rooting for Timothy Blake, even though he is a hero I would never want to meet. The storyline was action packed and held my interest without pause. I’m getting ready to read book two now!

ok, not great. too much Dexter

I felt this book did not have enough original content. Some of the story was so far and it did not build up to enough background. Although I finished the book I don't think I would recommend it to anyone

Different and weird!

As anti-heroes go, Timothy Blake is kind of likable.
I thought the story was very different, very edgy and very intriguing.
unlike some other reviews, i do not think the main character is anything like Dexter. He is surely not trying to feed his dark passenger by cleaning up bad guys, he's just trying to feed!

Most of the characters are interesting but the narrators attempt at female voices is so terrible that i found it difficult to take them seriously. However, most of the dialog felt authentic and the story is very compelling. The reveal of the main baddie was a bit of a let down, especially when he says why he is doing what he is doing... but, oh! The way Blake escapes his shackles id quite gruesome so it's worth hanging in there through the climax!

i do recommend this book, i just wish they could have found a better narrator.

mediocre

The book is very descriptive but too unrelatable for me to engage or enjoy fully.

amazing sotry

I could not believe how good this was. I just came across this book by accident, and found a gem.
