The amount of drinking Detective Drake does on and off the job is excessive makes me wonder how effective he really is. Somehow, he manages to think outside the box and finds clues that others missed. It took him a long time to figure out the identity of the Butterfly Killer and in doing so almost lost another partner. There are many factors at play in this story: grief, power and wealth leading to corruption ... things that cast long shadows over areas that shouldn't have gone dark but did. Detectives Logan and Adams sift through a veritable minefield as they seek answers to their questions that will satisfy the powers-that-be. Certain people don't want these answers exposed and will stop at nothing to keep them from being made known. This is my first time reading something by this author but it won't be my last because I'd like to know what happens to various characters.

I love a good serial killer book, and Butterfly Kisses didn’t disappoint. It has enough creepy crawly elements to make your skin crawl, but never crossed into full gross-out territory, which I appreciate. I love Detective Damien Drake and while you could argue that he’s a stereotype, this particular stereotype exists for a reason, unfortunately, and he rings very true to me.

There are some typos in the book, and they are distracting in that they briefly pull you out of the story, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a good story and Patrick Logan is a good writer. I have every intention of reading more in this series and others by Logan, and I would definitely recommend the book.
