Review: The Nothing Man - Catherine Ryan Howard - August 2020 After being stuck in a reading slump, I needed a mystery book to get me into the mood for reading. This book caught my attention with the cover. The book starts with washed-up security guard Jim Doyle seeing a girl reading a book. The book catches his attention as the book is called "The Nothing Man". A name he hasn't heard spoken or written down in years. Almost thirty years ago for Jim, he was working as a police officer as well as being a serial killer and rapist. This book reminded me of the Golden Gate Bridge killer aka Joseph D'Angelo and how it took a while to catch him and it took a book to help on the journey of catching him. Eve Black is known as the only survivor of the Nothing Man after he murdered her whole family. During the book, Jim is drawn into the memories of his crime and in a way, how far his life has fallen as once he was feared, and now he is laughed at and treated as a weak old man...
