Abandoned by Booklikes

This one was just okay too. I think I am getting a bit disappointed since Nameless doesn't really need to go toe to toe with the bad guys. They end up caught, he with help disposes of them. We get some clues to his past in this one. I wish all of the bad guys didn't have some weird God complex. The first two in this series sound similar.

"Photographing the Dead" has Nameless hunting down another serial killer. This one gets off by photographing the men and women he comes across and kills. Nameless trails the killer and we also follow two young women who are set to be married in a few months. We have a sense that if Nameless doesn't stop the killer, these two women are going to be his next victims.

Well we get a better sense of Nameless in this one. He also appears to be a Paul Newman hater. For shame Nameless, for shame.

“Newman made a number of movies where he relied too much on his looks and charm. But he was sometimes great. You ever see Hud?”

 

He done lost his damn mind. Newman was a snack and he could act. 

The mysterious Ace of Diamonds is still mysterious. I got nothing on this person or persons yet.

The two young women, Mia and Kara love to hike and are off hiking together prior to marrying. Of course they both carry weapons and know how to use them. That is me rolling my eyes. Koontz can never miss a chance to write about guns. I rolled my eyes reading about Nameless's gun of choice too. 

The writing was okay, I got bored reading about how the serial killer had some pretty big connections. As I said above, the serial killer had a similar mindset to the last guy so I was just okay, you're super evil and superior too, got it. The flow was okay, this one was much shorter so maybe that had something to do with it. 

I forgot to mention that in this one and last story had a pretty cool illustration. Other than that though, the series is already sounding samey. I wonder if we had a bunch of mystery/thriller authors try to write about Nameless this would be more interesting.

The ending is definitely a surprise, got to love how Ace of Diamonds wanted to take care of things. This story leaves things open to the fact that maybe Nameless is starting to remember some things.
