Review: The Guise of Another - Amid a corruption scandal, Detective Alexander Rupert has fallen from grace and finds himself hidden away in the Frauds Unit, spinning his wheels while his fellow officers ostracize him, until an identity theft case falls in his lap that turns out to be a great deal more involved than it would first appear—dragging Alexander into something much bigger than he’d ever imagined. The sole link between this book and the previous one by this author is the secondary character, Max Rupert (Alexander’s brother), who appears in a limited role in both stories. For the most part, this story is told from Alexander’s point-of-view as he moves through the investigation, struggling along the way with the possibility of his wife’s infidelity. Fast-paced, intricately woven mystery that keeps you guessing all the way through. I liked that some of the characters, Alexander included, had concealed motivations that weren’t revealed until near the end of the story. Great read, and I hope to see more stories featuring Detective Max Rupert!
Review: It Will Pull You Right In! - I read the first Max Rupert book, The Life We Bury, some time ago, and really liked it. But in the business of life and SO MANY books (!) I forgot about it until I started reading reviews of this one, which is the second in the Max Rupert series. And it pulled me in from the beginning and didn't let go. It is part mystery, part thriller, part police procedural with the politics of the police department, part cat and mouse game - but all good. We discover very early that a man has been living his life under the identity of James Putnam, but is actually not James Putman. The case could have been closed early on, but the Minnesota detective that I thought was the main character, Max Rupert's brother, Alexander Rupert (we find out more later) cannot let it go. And so the chase and the intrigue begins, taking us to Iowa, New York City, and back to Minnesota. At the same time, a side plot has Alexander in trouble with the law, his career, his personal life, and his marriage. It is briskly paced, filled with greedy bad guys (some unexpected), and the aftermath of a huge secret. The ending blew me away. At a few points in the story I was just stunned. Some things I never saw coming! Eskens can really write...I will look for his books in the future.

*by R***H on October 26, 2015*

This is a fantastic thriller and another great tale by new author Allen Eskens. A page turner from early on with some plot twists and good character development it's a fun enjoyable read that will leave you wanting more. I really enjoyed this book, as I did Eskens other book The Life We Bury and have recommended both to others with good success. This one compared to his previous title has a bit more gore and sexual content to it but is a great followup to the Life We Bury and certainly recommended from this reader!
