Think of a Number

When Dave Gurney, retired NYPD homicide detective, is contacted by an old college acquaintance about some startling letters he's been receiving, it is a sinister puzzle. Then the acquaintance is brutally killed… Suddenly Gurney finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation that makes no sense. The killer seems to have known his victim intimately. This seems only to be the beginning. And the killer alone knows where it will end.

I can’t find the right words that describes how much I ADORE this book! Obviously thrillers and suspense are always gonna be my jam and what I enjoy the most. Besides that, let me talk about you the characters ‘cause I love them. Gurney was such a great character to read and being in his mind, knowing all his thought process, how he was understanding everything with you, listening what he realized, what he thought, what he kept for his own and never said. Was a man with problems, with a big brain but that had learned from his mistakes. Also, can we talk about Madeleine? What a wonderful woman! So sarcastic, so direct and never afraid of saying what she was thinking or feeling. To me, it made sense why she was with Gurney eve tho she didn’t like how he acts or what his priorities were, she was the one who made everything work out. I would never forget that scene where she says to him how great that thing he did was and then the “I mean it, I’m impress” and how that made him feel, was such a adorable part to read. I never read thrillers to being surprise by the plot or for knowing the murder, I wanna know the behaviors, what made them, what they lived and how we ended up there. This book gave me that and more. Was exciting ‘til the end. Love when authors make this two characters that are mostly the same, that could become the same, but then it’s shown how our choices make us, that we can’t control or past, our environment or how other people hurt us, but we can choose.
