This is the first book I've read by this author. I picked it up at the yard where I volunteer (kestevenrda.co.uk) where we have started a charity book box to help raise some funds for our disabled riders - it's a great idea although it does mean its a good excuse to buy more books :-/This was a quick easy read, and although I liked the idea behind it, it just felt a bit predictable for my liking. A psychotic killer who likes to give clues on who his next victim will be is caught by a rookie officer, escapes and to punish her kills her husband and infant daughter. This would make a great story by itself, however, what I found so interesting about this book was that the story picks up after the previously mentioned events. The main character is Karin Schaeffer and she is struggling (as you would expect) to put her life back together, then comes the news, the monster who butchered her family has escaped again and is coming for her. What I loved about this book is the fact it isn't your typical crime novel. We already know who the killer is, we know what his MO is and we know who his next target is. Instead of having to learn all this we get to learn more about the main character and what is going on in her head. Events that you'd expect to play out at the end of the book take place much sooner and you're left guessing what will happen next. The only complaint I've got is the ending felt a litle clique, I can't say more without spoiling it but I've read a few crime books now where this was how it played out. This though is a minor complaint, I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading more from Katia Lief
What do You think about Nu Jij Nog (2010)?
Fantastic. I got sucked in early on and couldn't stop reading. Full of twists and suspense.
