Sorry I haven't posted much in the last week and a half. I took a week long Holiday to visit my family in New York. After a horrid return trip (F.U. USAirways) I finally made it home this past Thursday evening. On the trip I started and finished the book "Final Sins", by Michael Prescott. This book appears to be one of many books Prescott has authored using the same primary characters. I haven't read the previous book, Mortal Sins, or any of the other books my Prescott, yet, so keep that in mind.

"Final Sins" is a typical suspense, thriller, type fiction book. The story centers around a half a dozen characters ranging from the vigilante justice keeper, good FBI agents, corrupt FBI agents, a serial killer, and a stalker. As the plot develops we learn more background about the different characters in a well written story that managed to keep my interest. The character development is deep enough to really feel for the losses that the plot throws in, however it isn't deep enough to make me jump for joy.

The plot was also mediocre at best. There wasn't a single plot turn that I hadn't thought of well in advance of the author presenting the twist. The plot was transparent and largely predictable. With the exception of one particular piece of data (Faust's get away location at the end of the story), I saw it all coming a mile away.

If you are looking for a gripping story with twists that will keep you guessing, this book isn't for you. If you want a story that has deep and rich character development, again, look elsewhere. If you want an easy read that will simply pass the time for you on a long flight, this one will barely make the cut. I give "Final Sins", by Michael Prescott, 3/5 donkeys. Better luck next time Michael!
