The Storybook Killer
A must-read chilling US serial killer thriller from bestselling author Keri Beevis! Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Tess Gerritsen and You! Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can really kill you...
The graveyard of the New Hope Baptist Church in Juniper, Oregon should be a peaceful place, but when two teenagers are found murdered in the prime of their lives, the horror-story begins.
I have seen plenty of shocking things as a police detective, but this is the kind of scene that you never, ever forget.
We discover a tatty paperback, written by bestselling crime author, Amy Gallaty, and learn that its pages have been used as a blueprint for murder. But by who and why? Diving into Amy's past we try to discover why this killer is targeting her novels. Is she as innocent as she claims or is the motive far more sinister?
When the murderer strikes again, mirroring yet another of Amy's plots, it becomes clear that someone smart, ruthless, and obsessed is pulling the strings and will not stop until we stop them.
Rebecca Angell is back in a darker tale that pulls no punches, as she takes on a sadistic killer with a chilling agenda.

2.5, currently rounded up but might round down thinking on it. The premise is good, the twists fun, but these characters are over the top at times. It's corny sometimes but also aggravating how disgusting and pigish they can be. Yes I can understand some men and women can be like this truly, but it gets excessive in the book.

Oregon. USA.
Serial killer/stalker type with a penchant for reading. Clever, shocking, minimally graphic.
I didn't guess whodunnit.
Problem for me these days, are the characters with two names each, and nicknames. Who is who? That not withstanding, I had to finish it, and I did.

I skipped pages and it was still the same scene. Might be one of the most unrealistic books I’ve ever read.
