Secrets From A Serial Killer: A Psychological Suspense Thriller Set In A Small Town
Two women dead. A third gone without a trace. And the clock is ticking.
Chief of Police Shauna Peterson thought she knew her small town. But when a third young woman vanishes—and the latest body turns up, stitched with red thread—everything changes.
The killer is methodical. Bold. Watching. And he's only just begun.
Now Shauna is in a race against time to stop a predator closing in on everything she loves. The state wants her sidelined. The town wants someone to blame.
And her daughter Emma? She’s hiding secrets—and getting dangerously close to the truth.
The killer wants Shauna’s attention.
And he knows exactly how to get it.

As a mom of a teenager this book definitely got to me. It was a very emotional read of a mom trying to keep her daughter safe while her daughter thinks she is being overbearing the whole time.
Seeing chapters from the serial killer's point of view was interesting. I was definitely not expecting the ending.

J.C. Moore’s Secrets From A Serial Killer is a pulse-pounding small-town thriller where every secret bleeds and every clue cuts closer to home.
When Chief of Police Shauna Peterson finds her quiet town unraveling two women dead, a third vanished, and a killer leaving victims stitched with red thread the case becomes terrifyingly personal. As the state sidelines her and panic grips her community, Shauna must face the unthinkable: the predator may be stalking the people she loves most.
Taut, emotional, and relentlessly suspenseful, Secrets From A Serial Killer blends the procedural grit of C.J. Box, the psychological intensity of Freida McFadden, and the emotional stakes of James Patterson. Moore delivers a chilling cat-and-mouse mystery wrapped in the heartbreak of a mother forced to outthink a monster who knows her better than anyone.
This isn’t just a whodunit it’s a story about how far a mother will go to protect the truth when the killer is always one step ahead.

Excellent
This book is part thriller, part horror, part police procedural, part mystery, and completely well written.
The characters are compelling with the strengths and weaknesses common to us all. The scenery is cold and forbidding adding to the horror aspect. I see no flaws and hope this series lasts a long time.

A lot of repeated stuff. Ending kind of sucked.
