The Unkind Hours was a pretty good read. The story begins with a beautiful family. Tragedy strikes and things are no longer the way they were. Steve cannot get over his tragic loss. The grief consumes him and he is no longer himself. He meets a stranger who offers to help him not knowing that he is going down a very dangerous road.

There were some parts of the book that I really liked, however; Steve did work my nerves. He loved to take things into his own hands and often made them worse. I also feel there should have been more background information about the killer. The ending has me questioning whether there is going to be a part 2 to this book.
