    "Bernard Lee DeLeo's COLD BLOODED series owns the cutting edge of modern crime fiction. Action, suspense, humor, it's all there! Block out some time, because once you start one of these masterfully written adventures, you won't want to stop. I had to tear myself away to get some sleep!"

    5.0 out of 5 stars One kick ass read.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2014

    Another great read by Deleo.

    This one starts with Nick saving a woman from a serial killer. Sharon Tennington is her name and Boston is the city.

    Nick and family are in Boston for a book signing tour along with attending Gus's wedding to Tina and his family reunion.

    The wedding will be a bit sticky because Gus's brother and wife still have a hard time being anywhere near Nick. They know how deadly he is after he saved them from kidnappers. Neither of them like being anywhere near Nick.

    Nick was in the store where Sharon works and spotted the killer right away.

    Nick knew immediately that he was looking a serial killer. After all if anyone can recognize a serial killer its Nick McCarty.

    Nick investigated the guy, Gavin Kroneg and realized this guy has made kills all over the country.

    Nick followed Sharon on her jog and was on the lookout for the killer. Nick made short work of a man who thought he was bad. Not hardly. Not when compared to Nick. He saved Sharon and used his El Muerto disguise while doing it.

    Nicks El Muerto persona was started by Gus as a joke. Its taken on a life of its own. Gus has no problem called Nick Muerto but takes exception to Nick calling him Payaso the name Nick has chosen for his sidekick.

    So begins another damned fine read.

    This one has Nick, Gus, Rachel, Jean, Deke the dog, cleaning house on ISIS, a traitor, old friends and teammates, a death close to home, new friends, serial killers who need killing, Nick's CIA contact Paul, a new partner, the CIA, Homeland Security, killers, ISIS cell members, death, and Nick McCarty doing what he does best. Kill.

    Another Five Star read and I loved his story at the end about Nick and family twenty years into the future. Just awesome.

    This may be the best book yet in the "Nick McCarty Series", an outstanding story with cover-to-cover action. And DeLeo tells it like it is with ("radical") Islamists and other lowlife, no holds barred, literally for Nick and his sidekick Gus. If you're PC and want everything done by the book, do NOT come near this novel. But if you'd like to see some payback, with no heed to liberal sentiments, this is the book for you!

    The gang's all back, Nick, Rachel, Jean, Gus, Tina, Deke the dog, and many more entertaining characters. And Nick pulls some nifty scams to net his targets for further - ahem - activities not for the feint of heart. Psst- Nick doesn't believe in scumbags who threaten America having their day in court. And the thrills come at you from the very beginning right up to the very end; but there are captivating backstories and rich character development as well, all the way through. In particular, there's one genuinely tearful episode I find too distressing to mention further. It is rare to find a book this deep with nonstop action.

    There are many loosely linked plots; but DeLeo writes in a highly enjoyable, "linear" fashion, with each plot flowing smoothly into the next, so you never have to tax your memory to keep from becoming confused.

    As usual, DeLeo's grammar/editing is lousy but seems to be improving. I had to laugh when "Nick" tried to defend his poor editing at a book signing, and even more when he encountered what he called a "Grammar Nazi". I think we see DeLeo speaking for himself, not Nick, in this part. And I'm happy DeLeo may have seen my bitching about his characters guffawing endlessly about their mutual cut-ups. The cut-up density hasn't changed much, but the guffawing has been mercifully diluted. "Now that's just mean and hurtful, Martin", as Nick might say. Was not.

    3.0 out of 5 stars I like the general premise
    Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    After reading books 1-3 of this series, I finally give up. I like the general premise, but the writing is so replete with grammatical errors (and this is not a grammar-Nazi talking), totally incorrect word usage (e.g., using "alluded" when "eluded" was meant, using "pier" when "peer" was meant, etc.), and inane but supposedly hilarious humor, it is as if the books have not been reviewed by an editor at all. The author seems to have no idea how to use personal pronouns like "I" and "me" (and he can't reasonably claim the mistakes are made to make dialogue "more natural", especially when the main character is a writer who should certainly know better, pulp fiction or not, rather than an uneducated, illiterate, writer-wanna-be). Many words and phrases are unbelievably overused ("psycho", "deadliest person on the planet/alive", "cold blooded killer", "every cell rotten"...). Without some serious editing, reading further is an excruciating prospect. This is not a "book-killer" review. I actually gave the first 2 books more stars, trying to overlook the writing. With better (or any) editing, the books would be much more pleasurable to read.
