3tags said, " Eade has established himself not only as a best-selling crime author but also as a seasoned legal professional with three decades of experience . When you read any of his books, you not only walk away with an intense thrill ride, but also an unforgettable lesson in law." Midwest Book Review said, "Those who enjoy Grisham and other legal studies and who appreciate more than a dose of reality in their fiction reads will find Killer.com to be one of Eade's most powerful works yet, providing a scenario firmly grounded in real possibilities and powerfully enhanced by a questionable, surprise outcome in an exquisitely well-done, complex thriller!"
