I was hooked from the first chapter of this book. A flashback chapter at the beginning clenched it for me. I read 60% of the book the first night, staying up way too late but I just had to see what was going to happen.
There's a serial killer on the loose. Once loose in Chicago, he's now shown up in Colsboro, Ohio. Jennifer Gibbs, an investigative journalist, has been tracking him for years. Or, has he actually been tracking her? The murders are elaborate and brutal. The killer takes a photo of the victim, staged, with clues only Jennifer should be able to decipher. Clues that should help her to identify him. Years go by and much to her and the killers disappointment, she is unable to figure out who he is. The murders start to come closer and closer to Jennifer, with her most likely being the final victim. Can Jennifer uncover who he is and save herself from being the final victim?
Like I said, I was literally hooked from the very first lines of this book. I love a good mystery and I really like serial killer stories, whether real or fictional. The last few chapters is where the action really pick up as we see who the killer is and how the story is coming to a close. I had an inkling as to who the killer might be, but was still surprised to actually read who it was. This is book one and this one ends on a "to be continued". I felt the flash back chapters were a great addition. It gave background to certain areas of the story that were important and enriched the characters so much more. The pacing I felt was very nice, even at 400 pages, it was a quick read. I am definitely looking forward to the sequel and anymore books that are in this series. It has great potential. I received this book free from Booksirens for an honest review.
