Scrappymags 3-word review: Serial killer returns!?

Genre: Mystery

Shortest summary ever: Officer Ellery Hathaway craves a LIFE away from the horrid past of her childhood when she was the one who famously escaped a notorious serial killer. But has she? Despite moving away, Every year she receives a birthday card from an unwanted, unknown sender and every year someone goes missing in their small town. Now the missing cases are piling up and it’s time for Ellery to learn the truth.

My thoughts: oooooooh…… This was a fast serial killer mystery read – one of my fave genres (which makes me wonder why, but that’s a question for therapy). The story moves quickly and it’s a page-turner, hitting all the right notes for those like me who love the spine-tingles. I did figure this one out using the ever popular “Dwight Schrute” approach. Fans of The Office holla! But despite this, it was fun to find out I was right. (Back pats). Great characters and a nice perspective of “the girl who got away” and what that means to the victim as well as the FBI agent who rescued her.

Recommend to: All the serial killer/mystery fans

Not recommended to: cozy mystery folks
