The Man In The Moon - Tom Tancin

Tom Tancin is a young man who has managed to write an enthralling novel that is equally worthy of comparison of skill to many older authors in the same field.
'The Man in the Moon' is a serial killer mystery which introduces us to Detective Lyndsey Scott - a lifelike character with her own personal 'problems' - keeping her 'real' for the reader. She has been asked to help in solving murders - 12 so far - all by the same killer who has used various methods for killing his victims. The killer also chooses from a variety of victims - boys, girls, couples - which ensures that there is little chance of getting bored with the basic premise of the story as it rolls along at a very good pace - 8 more bodies pile up before anything can be solved.
The author manages to keep the reader on a good paced roller coaster of suspense throughout - with 'personal life' bits of Lyndsey Scott thrown in for good measure so the reader becomes 'involved'.
Tom Tancin has done very well here - introducing a likeable 'real' character whom I am looking forward to seeing more of in following novels - continuing to solve the unsolvable.
