The Bed Sheet Serial Killer begins with FBI Agent Rick Clark and his forensic psychologist sidekick, Marty Robin, investigating a number of brutal serial murders committed within a three-year-period. All of the victims are women, and though they share few physical traits, their backgrounds are similar in one important way.
One important way, that is, in the twisted brain of the serial killer.
While Rick and Marty speculate on personal events that may have created this moral monster, the listener becomes, if not sympathetic to the perp, at least more understanding of the role the past plays in creating a cold-blooded killer on a mission to save lost souls.

I received The Bed Sheet Killer from the Goodreads First Reads contest in retunr for an honrst review. It is about multiple murders & the FBI trying to solve them. Once a close friend to the main characters Rick Clark and Marty Robin is also killed, it becomes very important to find the killer(s) quickly and to hopefully prevent future murders from occurring. This novel I found to be a good read and the story very captivating, but I wanted it to continue as the ending doesn't tie up all the questions and problems from the story. I certainly hope a sequel is in the works !!
I received this book free from Good Reads. I was actually rather excited to read it. I found the book kept me wanting for more.
This story actually has two murders going on at the same time. One is the bed sheet killer and the other is an unknown killer.
I was however very disappointed when I got to the end and discovered that only one of the murders gets solved. The other one requires reading another book. I wished I would have known that in the beginning so I would not have had such a let down at the end.
