1: Awesome Book
I bought this book because i was so entertained by his other book Dangerous Games and this one didn't disappoint. I thought it was a very entertaining psychological thriller with great twists and turns. I would definitely recommend you to buy this book.

2: Justice is served
This book was a good read. It was simple, but not juvenile. The plot was good, not mind boggling, convoluted and hard to keep track of. The characters were likable and portrayed in a realistic way. Final Sins was not a light read, but it wasn't a 'heavy' darken your day kind of book.
This was my first book by this author, but it will not be my last.

3: Great thriller
A decade or so back, I read a few serial-killer thrillers by a writer named Brian Harper. They were entertaining enough, but after a few books, he seemed to disappear. When I did a little research, I found he was still around but working under another name: Michael Prescott. The name may have changed, but as shown in Final Sins, he is still delivering the goods.
Final Sins opens with Abby Sinclair being hired by Peter Faust. Sinclair, a recurring Prescott character, does private security work, and she is being employed by Faust to stop a man who is stalking his girlfriend. Abby has qualms, however. Faust is a convicted killer who ten years earlier was caught and arrested in Germany, where lax laws and good connections kept him locked up only briefly. Faust now lives in Los Angeles and revels in his reputation as an amoral murderer. His Euro-snobbish intellectualism has given him a nice following among various fringe elements, making him a sort of high-end (and free) Charles Manson. Abby takes on the job reluctantly, only because she feels sorry for the girlfriend.
Abby is sharp enough to track down the stalker easily enough, though he doesn't fit the usual insane loner stereotype. Instead, Mark Brody, an ex-Green Beret, seems well-adjusted. Abby gets closer to him than is professionally responsible and soon enough finds out there is more to Brody than what there appears to be, and the other parts are not good. His stalking is part of a more complicated thing, and Abby's involvement will get her suspected of a murder and on the run from the FBI, including her one-time friend, Tess McCallum (another recurring Prescott character).
Prescott is once again on his game in this novel, keeping things moving at a nice clip and rarely letting up on the suspense. This is what I think of as a roller coaster book; a lot of fun while it's going on, but after a little while, almost forgotten. That's okay, however: you don't read these sorts of books looking for profound insights, but for fun. And as stated before, Prescott delivers as well as always.

4: Kudos to Michael Prescott!
Another feather is Michael Prescott's cap. He is one of the very best suspense novelists we have. He does everything right, including correct English and spelling. Reading his books is pure pleasure.

5: RIVETING
This book may be Michael Prescott's best book yet. As is usual with Prescott, once you get into the story, it's hard to put the book down. And this time, the direction he takes his two main characters -- Abby and Tess -- is surprising, and yet completely believable. These characters have become so rich and complex -- it's a refreshing rarity to see such fine character development in such a gripping thriller.
