THE FIRST VICTIM, an intense and suspenseful psychological
thriller with a touch of romance, will keep you reading late
into the night. The tension is palpable as Emily Wright and
Deputy Bailey O'Neil seek to discover the identity of the
man who is killing young women. Is it the same person
threatening Emily? Can it possibly be the person who
abducted Emily fifteen years earlier? She barely escaped
with her life the first time, this time she's putting up a
fight.
After her father is seriously injured in a boating accident,
Emily reluctantly returns to Lakeside Acres, PA to care for
her teenage sister, Laurie. The abduction changed her life
in many ways, including causing an estrangement with her
father. She hoped never to return, but her sister needs her.
Their reunion is sweet and Emily wants to take Laurie home
with her to New York as soon as possible. Bailey, her
childhood friend and crush, is hoping she'll stay at least
long enough to find out what some unexpected kisses might
mean. When a friend of Laurie's is found dead in their
driveway and Emily starts receiving strange gifts, they find
themselves engaged in a deadly game with a serial killer.
JB Lynn's debut novel has spine-tingling suspense. The fear
and threat experienced by the characters made me shiver,
and an array of suspects kept me guessing until the end.
One warning, the segments written from the killer's point of
view were a little too disturbing for me and I found myself
skimming them.
She was like all the other victims. Naked, flawed,
helpless...
Fifteen years ago, Emily Wright barely escaped from a serial
killer dubbed the Baby Doll Strangler. She wants nothing to
do with the small town where she was abducted, but when her
father is hospitalized she reluctantly returns home to care
for her teenage sister.
When her sister's friend is killed and left in front of
Emily's house, Emily begins to relive the nightmare she
endured long ago. Soon she realizes that her sister, too, is
in danger from the killer-and the only person who can help
is the man Emily left behind: Deputy Bailey O'Neil.
Together, Emily and Bailey must discover the killer's
identity before he claims his next victim...
