Kill Crime: A Jeff Case Novel stunning crime thriller full of twists with an unpredictable ending

This is a writer who has a good working knowledge of the oil lease business, sniper weaponry and Las Vegas gambling. These features add to his story telling in a genuine way. The novel is meant for fans of the vigilante justice sub genre of the crime genre. I would have joined the other 5 star reviewers except I strongly suggest the author work on his craft and his editors work with him to bring that part of his game up to the level of the story invention.

A fast paced thriller with a very likable protagonist. This book is a very well written crime thriller and is a page turner.

Mike Slavin has written a very very good first novel Slavin picks up the vigilante-justice, crime thriller genre with a fastmoving, exciting plot that moves from Texas to Las Vegas and back. Jeff Case, the hero of this novel, is a flawed West Point graduate, combat veteran and former US Army Special Forces officer. Inn the first chapter, the reader follows Case as he speeds along a Texas highway to stop a pedophile. Case accidently witnesses the murder of the author who wrote KILL CRIME, a a best-selling how-to book about normal, everyday people killing murderers and getting away with it. Case is a veteran of both Afghanistan and Iraq, who made his fortune in the oil business in four years after leaving military service and found the love of his life and has an infant son. Then things change tragically fast. He turns into a highly-trained force of vigilante justice, when criminal low-life end up killing his wife and infant son during a bungled robbery at a quick mart. Then, within just a few pages his best friend, former SF Team-mate and now police Lieutenant is killed when he is visiting his friend and answers Case’s front door. So, in two short days he has lost the three most important people in his life. And when the local police are not making any real progress in solving these murders, he hires a private investigator and links up with one of his old SF A-team mates, and plans for ultimate justice. The action and dialogue are excellent. Several twists and turns and Slavin twists together these several murders into a coherent and intriguing tale. The plot moves along at a steady pace, intermixed with some poignant flashbacks. Once you start this book, it is very hard to put down. So I was glad to have started this during the hospital slow-down from coronavirus, reading it over a weekend. I need to go back now and read the pre-quel LIFE-CHANGING MONEY. Perhaps during the self-quarantine of mature adults, SLAVIN will be able to finish BOOK #2 in the Jeff Cse series. I agree with other readers who compare Slavin with Michael Connelly, Robert Crais and Lee Child. For me, I would also recommend Mike Slavin to those readers who like some of my favorites like Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Tim Tigner, and Jason Kasper.

Jeff Case is a multidimensional hero who the author Mike Slavin gives some of his own traits, including being a West Point grad. However, when Case is confronted with a series of events, he turns to revenge killings. There's nothing Case can't do but he assembles a team and the results have to be read to be believed. Amazing.
This is a wonderful read, with raw emotions and strong action scenes. It's all you could want in a crime novel. Lee Child is retired, Mike Slavin is in his prime.

Kill Crime is the first book I read by Mike Slavin. It did not disappoint, a great murder mystery. Fast-paced and intense If I could, I would've done the same as Jeff Cases did. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. Life-changing money. If it's anything like Kill Crime, it's going to be a good read!

I can see why people like this book: action, a heroic protagonist, the works -- but admittedly it wasn't for me. It was a bit too reminiscent of Jack Reacher, a series that I love, and it was hard to get past the idea that this was just a Jack Reacher knock-off. The writing style wasn't my favorite and the plot was a bit too unpredictable.

The writing was so good that I could clearly envision the story being played in head. I imagined the grittiness and intensity of Breaking Bad.
