How do you stop a serial killer who can escape from any prison?
On December 11, fifteen-year-old Helen Hinton is brutally murdered in an abandoned house. Her killer, Edward Phillips, is caught and sentenced to death. Helen's blood was on Edward's clothes and shoes, the murder weapon has his fingerprints on it. Edward claims he's innocent. He's telling the truth.

Two months after Edward Phillips is transferred to death row, a murder similar to Helen's occurs in another city. The victim is eighteen-year-old Laura Sumner. On an October morning, Mark Hinton, Helen's father, visits Edward in prison to talk about Laura Sumner's case. Edward tells him that he knows who really killed Helen.

What he doesn't tell Mark is that the real killer is the most dangerous criminal on the planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Thriller!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

Excellent book. An Evil Mind is a gripping novel that kept me reading well into the night. The author created a great original story.
The main character is Mark Hinton, a detective with the Dallas Police Department. He's the father of a girl who was butchered by an evil man. He finds out that another girl was murdered in the same fashion as his daughter, although his daughter's killer was captured and sentenced to death. Is it a copycat or did the police get the wrong man in his daughter's case?
Mark starts looking for answers with the help of Detective Aguero, who investigates the murder of the second victim. His daughter's killer Edward says he's innocent, but it's hard to believe him, since all evidence points to him.
Mark will do anything to find the killer and avenge his daughter.
I liked the main twist. The story has more turns and surprises than I could count. The characters were well developed and complex, the writing was good. The story was easy to follow and I never felt confused.
The book kept my interest and attention all throughout. The ending was explosive and satisfying.

an Evil Mind is a very well written book that will keep you coming back for more. Its starts with the brutal murder of a fifteen year old girl. Her killer Edward Phillips is caught and sentenced to death row, but is Edward the real killer. Her father Mark Hinton visits him in prison after the similar murder of another girl. Can it be possible that the real killer is still on the loose? Can Mark believe what Edward is teling him to be true? There are jus too many coincidences for Mark to let it go but will he find out the truth before its too late. This one will keep you wondering even after you're through. I would definately recommend this book.

+++Spoiler ALERTS++++When you are lying on your death bed recounting your life, you'll wish you had back the couple of hours it took to read this dribble. How Kizer got this book published is absolutely stunning. How he came up with the plot is beyond rational thought. Yes it is fiction but it is not good fiction. A good writer crafts fiction in such away that the suspension of disbelief come naturally without the reader being aware of it. When the reader learns that this plot turns on, get this, body switching (or consciousness swapping), well, not only is the disbelief not suspended but laughter and scorn follows. Why scorn? Because the author insults the reader's intelligence with this 5th grade level fantasy. But besides the plot, there is no development of the characters. The main character in the book works on a case unofficially (a closed case that involved the murder of his daughter) with no supervisor asking about his whereabouts while he is trying to find out how the killer assumes the body of unsuspecting victims. REALLY? We have no information on the background of characters. They just appear, do their jobs and move on. And the endiong comes so fast (again no development, no suspense) that it is almost laughable how it ends. It is as if the author got so bored with his ridiculous work he ended it abruptly so he could wash his car. Trust me, you'll get more suspense and satisfaction after reading the heating directions on a Pop Tarts box. What a joke of a book.

This book had promise and a good premise. I was intrigued until the very unbelieveable and disappointing plot twist that I hope would be discounted as the book progressed. No such luck. To the author's credit the book was well written despite some recurring and annoying thoughts. Had I known I was reading a supernatural story, I would not have been disappointed. As it is, I can't give it more than two stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A chilling murder story
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
This story is told in the third-persona narrative. A young girl is murdered and the suspect, Edward is taken in for questioning. The victim's father, Mark, pays Edward a visit on death row and is asked to pursue a further investigation of a most likely suspect, Sam.

Could Edward be telling the truth? You will ask yourself, no doubt, as the evidence seems to have his name written all over this horrific case. Riviting dialogue follows and a web of entanglement that includes black magic rituals. You'll want to sit down for the surprsing twist of events as well.

This is definetely one of those "open and shut" murder cases; if you enjoy true crime fiction you will want to stay with it to the end.

I would agree with the other reviewers here in that the writing is amateurish. Stilted conversations & characters not developed well. Weird story line for me, I almost gave up half way thru. Decided to see what happened but the ending was abrupt too.

I am still in the process of reading this book, but from what I had read so far It doesn't look like a very good book. However I will reserve judgement until after I have completed the book. I finally managed to finish reading this book, and I have to say I was very disappointed in it. not only was it too long, but honestly, body swapping? Really? my youngest nephew could written this better, and he is twelve. whoever wrote this drivel needs to back to authors school.

Started off very well, but the suspense was let out mid-way and then the book meandered along till the end was so hastily wrapped up, that you were left wondering whether the story is actually over. If only, the pacing was better, plot was not revealed so quickly and the ending been better, I would have given 4 stars, since the basic premise is new and exciting
