This book has it all,suspense, action, romance,and great characterization.

Pattern of Violence is a great book. The characters came to life and the plot was "edge of your seat". I recommend this novel to anyone who likes a good thriller... I'm looking forward to reading more works by this author.

I read this book in one day...I could not put it down. I HAD to finish it. From the first page to the last it is more than entertaining--it is phenominal. Maria Sanchez comes to life as the lead character, and with the hectic life of a single mom as well as homicide detective, she takes the world by storm as her only daughter is put in harms way. The world needs more writers like C. Hyytinen. I can hardly wait until her next book comes out!!
