A Thriller

By: Faye Kellerman

Narrated by: Charlie Thurston

New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman delivers an electrifying crime novel of suspense as a young man’s obsessive investigation into his sister’s 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 fear…

Three 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 her—until, on the first anniversary of her death, he found her body in a shallow grave by the river’s edge.

Ben, now seventeen, is relentlessly driven to find answers to Ellen's homicide. Police believe she was the victim of a psychopath known as the Demon. But Ben's analytical mind sees patterns that don't fit, tiny threads and clues that are derived from other unsolved murders he has researched. Despite his all-consuming push for a real solution to the crime, Ben has hit a wall until he gains an unlikely ally - the school's popular new girl, Ro Majors, who has secrets of her own. As the body count rises, a picture emerges of an adversary who is as cunning and methodical and deadlyl. And uncovering the truth may not be enough to keep Ben, Ro and their loved ones safe from a twisted and fixated killer who has nothing left to lose.

Just Right

Written with enough tension but without unpleasant prolonged terror. Great characters! Went beyond where most books stop to feel the future.

A book mostly about underage sex

The premise of this book is great - a murder whodunnit. But I couldn’t even finish it because the further along I got the more underage sex there was. Then it got detailed, like how large a 17 year old’s boy’s privates are. Then it got even more detailed, describing two teenage virgins having sex for the first time. I had to stop listening to the story because it turned into an underage smut story.

I cannot figure out why the author (a 70 something year old woman) felt the need to specifically write in detail about multiple sexual encounters between children. The sex adds absolutely nothing to the murder story and it’s just plain creepy. Very creepy.

great New series??

I love this new story. while I already love Decker Lazurus this is a welcome change

One high school student did the unthinkable to find his sister's killer.

Never give up hope no matter the cost and you never walk alone in life

Wow! What a great book!

This novel is a perfect mixture of thriller, love story, comedy, and culture. I loved the characters! They were so relatable and familiar. Super great book!
