My Review:
The short chapters kept this story moving but I never found myself fully invested. The police procedural aspect of the read is well done. I do think that the story could've been cut a bit. And despite a couple plot holes, it's an entertaining read. I always enjoy being in the killer's head. It's just fascinating to get that POV. And Samantha is a fun character that I think will grow a lot through the series. However, I do wish we got a bit more from the both of them. The characters felt a bit two dimensional and I needed a bit more depth. As a first in a series book, this feels like it is laying the foundation and maybe the depth will come with subsequent installments.
My take away is that this is a bit of a slow paced procedural/mystery with a disturbing serial killer that I wanted more from. If you like serial killers with poetic tendencies (*wink*), I think you would enjoy this read quite a bit.

Jessica's Review:
Thrillers that have short chapters just know how to suck me in. As someone that reads chapter to chapter - I don't even understand how someone can stop on a random page or even in the middle of one - it turns into that awful cycle of "this chapter is ONLY 4 pages, I can do another one quick". Then before I even realize it, I've finished the book. Well, THE POET by Lisa Renee Jones is one of those books. Short chapters, a serial killer, and a good police procedural is what you'll find here. I will say that it's good to note, despite the chapter lengths, this does have a slower building pace. More police procedural/mystery than a thriller.
If you love being in the killer's POV, then you'll really enjoy this book! Give me a sadistic killer with some gruesome crime scenes any day and I'll be anxious to see where things will end. Detective Samantha Jazz was fun to get to know and with this being the first in the series, I'm curious to see where the author will take her next. I'm not sure what it was, but there was just something missing for me. I just couldn't completely connect with the characters despite still being semi-invested in the story.
Overall, I'll definitely pick up the next in the series to see how things progress for Samantha. If you want a good police procedural, then I highly recommend picking up THE POET.
We have been ensuring and broadening the existence of rooftop tiles utilizing airless splash hardware for 25 or more years. Our demonstrated, attempted and tried, German fabricated, clear or shading pigmented defensive coatings, will leave your rooftop resembling a fresh out of the plastic new one for a negligible portion of the expense. I compare the utilization of these extraordinary coatings as like securing the bodywork of your vehicle. We wash our vehicles routinely ourselves or we take them to a carwash. Sooner or later, we'll notice that the paintwork is beginning to look dull and will at that point, eventually, either apply the clean and buff it ourselves or once more, pay for another person to do it. Why clean it?
ReplyDeleteWell it will unquestionably look better, water will dot and run off rapidly and bird-droppings or tree sap will presently don't start to "destroy" your paintwork.
We do this to something that cheapens each time we fire it up (as a rule). Your home (your château) over the long run, simply does the inverse! I'm truly glad that you're thinking about rooftop cleaning and would invite the chance to give a free citation to you. On the off chance that you like and simultaneously we can give a citation to securing your now exceptionally clean rooftop (yet not ensured) from the components.
I'm not going to talk "over your head" about the specialized determinations and cycles of these shocking defensive coatings, however know this:Once we have cleaned and eliminated the greenery, lichen, and green growth from your rooftop tiles and before the use of either an unmistakable or hued defensive covering, our master project worker will place another tip into his splash firearm. We just utilize the market-pioneer for our tips. Graco tips are made out of the greatest grade of tungsten carbide, the most rough safe material utilized in the assembling of airless shower tips.
All splash tips will wear with ordinary use. All coatings contain solids that are rough some more than others. Utilizing a ragged tip will bring about a sketchy completion, since when a tip wears, the size of the tip opening increments and the fan width diminishes. This powers more passes to cover the surface prompting a break in the ideal conveyance design. Joining the right Graco shower tip with our firearm assumes a major part in assisting us with making the expert completion your rooftop covering position requests. Not exclusively does the tip decide how much liquid will leave the weapon when our project worker pulls the trigger, the splash tip additionally decides how wide a shower fan the firearm will make. Our worker for hire is likewise watching the tip for any indications of stopping up We just utilize Graco's reversible tips. With a reversible tip, he can undoubtedly clear tip obstructs by basically turning the tip 180 degrees to the spotless position and afterward setting off the sprayer.
