Rating: - Worthy Mystery
Not generally a fan of mysteries, I am a big fan of Gerri Hill. My partner and I own every one of her books. Some are better than others and you're never sure exactly what you're going to get. I must say `Name' is certainly one of her better books.

I won't rehash the plot because the description here is more than adequate. However, I will gush about the quality of the mystery. It wasn't until the last few chapters that I figured out `who dunnit.' Hill adeptly kept the clues subtle until she was ready to reveal the guilty party. I won't spoil the whole thing by revealing anything, but it was a surprise.

Bottom line... Whether you're a Hill fan or not; whether you're a mystery fan or not; this is an all-around good book that would be a valuable addition to any shelf. It will remain a permanent part of my personal collection.

Rating: - works quite well as a mystery
i am a bit amazed about the harsh critique the book has received from several reviews. as a thriller, it worked quite well and was not paced as slowly as people have criticized. maybe some readers were disappointed since "in the name of the father" is not a bit as steamy as "hunter's way". the mystery in "hunter's way" in my opinion was a feeble excuse for the development of tori and sam's relationship. i had a nice read and thought that "in the name of the father" is quite a likeable book.

This book was a great follow up to Hunter's Way. I love watching the relationship grow and of course I love the police DRAMA, my fav!!!!

Rating: - Truly Disappointed!
Let me start out by saying that I really love a lot of the work by this author, however, this book was not one them.

The storyline was weak, no development with Tori & Sam's relationship at all. Everything about the book was very vague. The murder itself wasn't even a surprise because you find out right away who did it. It seemed like the objective of this book was for you to find out why it was done. After only reading half of the book I had to put it down, then forced myself to read the rest.

I am not giving up on this writer because she is one of the best in the genre, but this one missed the mark.
