    About this ebook

    Sean Tennant and Molly Winter are living quietly and cautiously in Houston when a troubled, obsessive stranger shatters the safety they have carefully constructed for themselves. Sean is at a shopping mall when Henry Alan Keen, scorned by a woman he’s been dating, pulls out a gun at the store where she works and begins shooting everyone in sight. A former soldier, Sean rushes toward Keen and ends the slaughter with two well-placed shots—becoming a hero with his face plastered across the news.
    But Sean’s newfound notoriety exposes him to the wrath of two men he thought he had left safely in his past. One of them blames Sean for his brother’s death. The other wants to recover a treasure that Sean and Molly stole from him. Both men are deadly and relentless enemies, and Sean and Molly will need to draw on all their strength and devotion to each other if they hope to elude them. Thus begins a cross-country chase that leads from Texas to Montana, from Tennessee to New York to Michigan, as the hunters and their prey grow ever closer and, in a heart-stopping moment, converge.
    A wickedly clever and exhilarating thriller, The Good Killer offers a sophisticated, breathtaking look at the extremes people will reach for love, greed, and survival.

      Sean Tennant kills a shooter on a rampage in a mall. However, he has something to hide and when he realizes that his photo will be in the newspaper, he leave Houston. First he must pick up Molly, his girlfriend in Montana.Unfortunately there are several groups of people after him--the man he stole from, the man whose brother was killed following the robbery and of course, the police.The Good Killer is an interesting book but does not live up to Harry Dolan's other books.
    • 5/5
      The Good Killer by Harry DolanCharacter driven story with each new segment introduced by the name of someone new or a returning player. I found this book a bit like watching a movie and could see it adapted for and easily produced for the big screen. My thoughts: * Complex plot* Well written* Action-packed* What is right and what is wrong - truly* Shades of gray* Choices are not always clear-cut* Love trumps all – usually* Twisted people do twisted things* Redemption may be possible* Revenge doesn’t pay* Great bookWhat I liked: * That it made me think* It is pertinent and timely* The good guys are flawed* The bad guys are not all bad* I liked getting into the minds of the characters* Cole’s part in the story * I could visualize what was happening * The story was credible and realistic * All of it really except…What I didn’t like: * That people are willing to do anything to get what they want * The reminder that bad things happen to good people* Wondering what will happen to Rose – will her story be told by this author?Did I like this book? I didWould I read more books by this author? DefinitelyThank you to NetGalley and Grove Atlantic-Mysterious Press – This is my honest review.5 Stars

      This is the second book I have read from this author. The second time around is a winner. Instantly. I was drawn to Sean and Molly and this storyline. You could say that I was sucked into the story. Which by the way, this book should come with a warning..."Don't start it before bed unless you don't plan on sleeping."Once, I started reading, I could not stop reading. There are a handful of characters in this story but they are all major players within the story. I was on the edge of my seat as Sean and Molly tried to keep one step ahead of the people after Sean. The ending put a smile on my face. You can say that I was pleased with the ending. The next book can not come quick enough. Make sure that The Good Killer by Harry Dolan is in your shopping cart.
