KILLING SEASON; the determined brother of the victim trying to find his sister's killer is fabulously done. The characters are so well written you can feel their pain and determination. You are quickly drawn into their lives and feel like you are right there with them, wanting to help them through the hard times and smack them when they are stupid. Not only do you feel what the characters feeling, but you become wrapped up in the mystery and become as determined as Ben is to discover the killer. The relationship of the high school kids is a little disturbing to anyone who has a kid that age but sad to say probably way more accurate than any parent would like.
New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman
delivers an electrifying novel of suspense as a young manβs
investigation into his sisterβs death draws him into the
path of a sadistic serial killer.
He went searching for the truth. Now a killer has found him.
The more you know, the more there is to fearβ¦
Four years ago, fifteen-year-old Ellen Vicksburg went
missing in the quiet town of River Remez, New Mexico. Ellen
was kind, studious, and universally liked. Her younger
brother, Ben, could imagine nothing worse than never knowing
what happened to herβuntil, on the first anniversary of her
death, he found her body in a shallow grave by the riverβs edge.
Ben, now sixteen, is committed to finding the monster who
abducted and strangled Ellen. Police believe she was the
victim of a psychopath known as the Demon. But Benβa math
geek too smart for his high-school classesβcontinues to pore
over the evidence at the local police precinct, gaining an
unlikely ally in his schoolβs popular new girl, Ro Majors.
In his sisterβs files, Benβs analytical mind sees patterns
that donβt fit, tiny threads that he adds to the clues from
other similar unsolved murders. As the body count rises, a
picture emerges of an adversary who is as cunning and
methodical as he is twisted.
At first the police view Benβs investigation with suspicion.
Soon his obsession will mark him as a threat. But uncovering
the truth may not be enough to keep Ben and those he loves
safe from a relentless killer who has nothing left to lose.
