"I LIKE DCI PRIEST"
I aways try to read debut novelists within the crime fiction genre. The Decalogue was recommended to me by a friend. I sat and read it in a day (never done that before), I just couldn't put it down and five hours later I had read it cover to cover. Don't want to rave on about it too much here; let me just say - BUY IT and find out yourself.

"REALLY ENJOYED IT"
I read quite a lot of crime fiction and I have to say that I really enjoyed this one. Unique plot and believable characters - DCI Jonny Priest. Glad to recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of modern detective crime fiction.

"DEFINITELY LIKE THIS BOOK"
For a girl who read cute, swoonish YA books, it's a pretty big deal when she goes ravishing about a thriller book. Although, if you think about it again, I do love watching Castle and NCIS.
Seriously? Love? No. OBSESSED. And that is how it is too with The Decalogue.
DCI Priest was assigned to Manchester to solve a murder case that turns out to be a serial killer case. The murderer kills his victims using the 7 Amendments as his/her blueprint.
This is like, my first crime book. I’ve watched crime shows but I’ve never read one. I guess I wanted to try something new, and I did, and I LOVED it! :D
I guess my only complain of the book is that it’s a little bit dragging in the middle of the book. The pace was slower somehow. Despite that, The Decalogue wasn’t anywhere near the danger where I
felt like putting the book down. In fact, I read it in one sitting! That’s like, amazing for a book I’ve never tried reading. Plus, the author keeps it interesting throughout the book when he puts
DCI Priest’s private life too.
This is something new to me and I’m glad I tried it out. I mean, I’m not going to stay 15 forever right(wish I could though :P)? Fans of crime and suspense will definitely like this book!

"GRIPPING READ"
book titles. I read the flyleaf and knew that this was going to be a gripping
read. I was not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was totally amazed to
learn that this was Mark Pettingers first novel, I can't wait for his next one!
Its not all about murder though, we see the DCI Priest trying to bond with his team while his past creeps up on him and then there is Nicole who is a welcome member to his team.
Priest was a great character not without his faults but man enough to understand them. A strong leader and he is determined to catch the killer.
The author does a good job of introducing us to the characters at the right time and filling us in on there past so we get a deeper understand of each character and who they were.
"GOOD READ"
It does mention in the book that the main investigator (Priest) has OCD. I wouldn't think that it would be an issue as it would be an asset. Its part of what I think makes him a great investigator as he's putting the pieces together.
"GREAT DEBUT NOVEL"
I would urge that you download and give it a go. Looking forward to the follow up. Thumbs up from me
Anyone interested in interviewing me in relation to my novel, The Decalogue, please contact me at info@markpettinger.com and I will be pleased to discuss with you
