Walk in Darkness - A Thriller (Jon Stanton Mysteries Book 2)


I wonder if this pattern will be repeated in the rest of the series. As the reader, we already know who the perpetrator is, but Stanton is still in the dark, and when finally the pieces fall together at the end of the book, it was a total rush-job.

More surfing, more corruption Stanton quits the force again, but surprise! I'm hoping for more with the 3rd installment free kindle edition. I found a lot of grammer mistakes too! Is that common with ebooks? Either way it's annoying. Nov 19, Dr. Campbell rated it did not like it. I really wanted to like this writer, but alas, I don't.

I thought I would learn more about the Mormon Church than I did and I'm just not particularly interested in surfing. The crime story was choppy and uninteresting. Dec 25, Laura Anne Warren rated it liked it. What detective on earth has time to do this much surfing? None that I know of! But, the story was entertaining although better editing is needed. Typos and poor grammar shouldn't be here.

Nov 27, Beth rated it liked it. I enjoyed the story but there were a few glitches in it. The young man rode to the hospital with his mother in the ambulance but when he was walking out of the hospital, he got into his car. How did that happen? Some other little errors by the author that some one proof reading it should have caught.

Mar 12, Louise Pass rated it it was amazing. Rectitude Tightly woven plot, well written, believable characters.

Audiobook Thriller Fiction Mystery #1 By Jonh

Anderson rated it it was amazing. Walk in Darkness This book is all about who you think is your friend may turn out to be your greatest enemy. The novels were just as popular as the first and made Jon Stanton one of the most popular police detective protagonists in recent times. As a criminal defense attorney with more than criminal cases under his belt, Methos writes the Jon Stanton series as complex, violent, dark, and gritty novels that over a few years have become fan favorites.

The lead character in the series is Jon Stanton, a police detective with strong moral and ethical values fighting against crime and a corrupt police force. The novels excellently portray the moral ethical dilemmas facing police officers in corrupt jurisdictions. It also looks into how police officers deal with personal problems, which sometimes encroach into their work.

When we are first introduced to Stanton, he has just lost his family after his wife left him, taking with her his two children. He has been asked to join a team of highly experienced and qualified persons investigating a cold case. Dedicated to attaining justice for crime victims, he particularly likes to work cases of young and vulnerable victims. However, even with his long years of experience tracking down and resolving murder cases, he often finds some of the murder cases sadistic and gruesome though he never backs down from a case.

Stanton is an unrelenting man who pursues the ends of justice using whatever methods he can, though he will not violate his moral standards. As a Mormon, he comes across as a man driven by his religious convictions and overzealous character that often do not serve him well in a devious world. As a detective, he is a persistent and skilled operative, qualities that are severely lacking in his personal life making him a bland man that cannot sustain a relationship.

Publication Order of Jon Stanton Books

Nonetheless, despite his methodical, considerate, and introspective personality, he is an interesting police detective by Mormon standards, even as he often lives a singular and lonely life. The Jon Stanton series of novels are violent, raw novels with dark undertones showcasing the illegal and corrupt side of the police force. The author writes realistic novels full of character descriptions and portrayals you would expect in real life situations. The novels provide excellent background of the characters explaining their histories and environment, which explains their motivations.

One of the most important of themes in the novels is the dilemma faced by a moral police officer in a police department that is increasingly morally bankrupt and corrupt. Even though the efforts to eliminate evil in the society often seem hopeless, the novels assert that there are still people like Stanton who will not give up in their pursuit of a better society.

The novels also provide insights and humanize the police officers by following the life of detective Jon Stanton. The persons that would be expected to be a moral compass for society such as the Chief of Police and the junior police officers are irredeemably corrupt. Some of his colleagues and bosses are involved in crime and Jon feels it is up to him to make things right. Over the course of the novels, Stanton has to deal with serial killers of all shades who brutally kill their victims and turn around to taunt him to find them.

Nonetheless, while Stanton is a good detective, the novels are all about an everyday cop who struggles with cases and makes mistakes that any other cop would. A killer has been brutally killing vulnerable women on the fringes of society and no one can find out who he is and why. Jon Stanton of the SDPD is a young detective of the homicide unit who has more invested in the case than anyone else.
