The Eleventh Victim

By: Nancy Grace

Narrated by: Kate McIntyre

"Seconds passed; minutes. She could hear movement now in the waiting room she had just left...it was the metal magazine rack she was sure, that crashed to the tile floor. Then quiet. She strained to hear in the darkness. Nothing more, and then... The air moved in the room and she knew. He was here."

As a young psychology student, Hailey Dean's world explodes when Will, her fianc, is murdered just weeks before their wedding. Reeling, she fights back the only way she knows how: In court, prosecuting violent crime . . . putting away the bad guys one rapist, doper, and killer at a time. But dedicating her life to justice takes a toll after years of courtroom battles and the endless tide of victims calling out from crime scene photos and autopsy tables. Just as she grows truly weary, a serial killer unlike any other she's encountered begins to stalk the city of Atlanta, targeting young prostitutes, each horrific murder bearing his own unique mark. This courtroom battle will be her last.

Hailey heads for Manhattan to pick up the pieces of the life she had before Will's murder, training as a therapist. In a vibrant new world, she finally leaves her ghosts behind. But then her own clients are brutally murdered one by one by a copycat using the same M.O. as the Atlanta killer she hunted down years before. As the body count rises across Manhattan, Hailey is forced to match wits not only against a killer, but the famed NYPD.

Unless she returns to her former life and solves the case, still more innocent people will die at the hands of a killer who plans to get her, before she can get him!©2009 Nancy Grace; (P)2009 Hyperion

Not so much interested

I'm sorry to say it's so obvious she is not a fiction writer. There were so many repeating I guess to add words. The story itself wasn't interesting at all. I found no excitement. The name calling was kinda weird to listen to. Overall I don't think she is a good fiction writer. There didn't seem to be any main characters and going back and forth so much seemed strange. I doubt if I will listen to the new book when it's out.

just what you would expect from Nancy Grace!

Really enjoyed listening to this - I watch her show and the book was just as riveting.

Action, not plot

Little time is taken for character development. I wanted to care but it was all so focussed on moving forward that there was little time to engage with the string of terrible events presented with real engagement. Author need to slow down an tell us a more controlled story
Atlanta is presented sympathetically? But there is so much happening it it’s hard to notice or appreciate.

Wondering if fiction or biography of author

I enjoyed this book. I would really like to know if this was supposed to be paralleling the life of Nancy Grace of mostly fiction. It makes me wonder what was left out since this is abridged.

Enjoy Nancy Grace on TV and in print!

enjoyed the intertwined stories and very easy to listen to.
