An odd book: the opening chapter is very strong but it gets weaker and weaker. Although set in an English it read like an American thriller/mystery, so there was an odd cultural dissonance, and there are a huge number of police officers who all get their own POV so it's hard to develop a sense of the central character.Interested enough to skim the second half to find the resolution to see if I'd guessed right (I had) but not enough to read anything else by this author. Will read Tania Carver again. I really liked The Creeper, and will now be looking for her other novel, The Surrogate. This is a creepy tale (aptly titled book) of a girl who thinks she has a dream of someone standing over her bed and then touching her, but she can't move or call our, but when she awakes the next morning, there is a photo of her sleeping attached to the window and a note attached. At first, the police are skeptical, until this event ties in with the abduction of other missing girls and the discovery of one dead body, murdered in a very horrific manner. Worth checking out this author.
What do You think about Le Rôdeur (2012)?
Reviewing this for Library Journal. Not as good as her first. Predictable.

Really tense crime-mystery with plenty to keep you guessing.

Creepy. And in a rather non-interesting way.
