The first few chapters sucked me into this story about a killer on the loose in Ybor City. I loved how the author captured the feel of the Tampa area. But what really kept me coming back for more were the characters. I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen to Amber Moon and her close circle of friends. I definitely plan on keeping an eye out for the next Taylor novel.
I could not put this book down. I had to keep reading to find out what happens next. I had to take the book with me wherever I went. It is interesting, exciting, full of suspense, and a very good mystery. I recommend this book to everyone.
Suspenseful read! Being set in Tampa it was fun to read about locations and restaurants I’m familiar with. Even if you’re not from the area, you’ll enjoy this book! April and her mother are great characters and boy does April manage to sabotage her potential ‘love life’! Vic and her Mother seem to pull her back on track. Enjoyable and suspenseful…..you’ll be checking the locks on your doors!
“The Pied Piper: Evil Returns,” the third in the Amber Series of Ybor City, is by far the best in this dark and sinister sequence of procedural works. Chris Coad Taylor keeps getting better and better with her mystery novels that take place in the Tampa area. This time out Joe Lopez leads a task force of law enforcement agencies including the FBI on the trail of an individual who is kidnapping children, they suspect for, the sex trafficking network worldwide. His pregnant wife Amber helps unlock other aspects in the case as it unfolds. The Rainbow Murders, a cold case never solved, is back on the agenda as well that some feel may be related. “The Pied Piper: Evil Returns” is a page-turner of suspense that unwinds like a ticking time bomb to its final, explosive conclusion.
