The Hunter
Welcome to Hope, Louisiana. The cobblestone streets remind you of times past. With very little crime in this quaint town, everyone goes about their daily tasks with little disruption, but without warning... things start to change. And not for the better.
The best part of being a Hunter is watching as your prey scatter once they realize they are in your sights. Hope has turned into the perfect hunting grounds for me. But now, it's time to show everyone the masterpieces that I have created.
It's time to step out of the shadows and into the light so that they can all realize, the town they thought was safe..... Isn't.
My displays are doing what I want them to do, they are drawing attention and bringing me into the spotlight. Where I belong. But then I saw her, Detective Jordan Sanders, and I knew that she was going to be the ultimate masterpiece that I would ever create. The only hiccup in capturing her was her new-found boyfriend, FBI Special Agent Alex Hamilton.
But everything will work out. It always does.
Welcome to Hope, Louisiana. Where the reality of the shadows is brought right to your doorstep. Open your door and let me in, if you dare.

Love it when local people do well. The book was eerie, twisted and kept my attention. Interesting the way there were many chapters that were each characters thoughts of the case. The only draw back was the typing was smaller that most books. However, the font chosen was clean design which made it much easier to read that some fonts chosen by authors. I think it will be enjoyed by readers if you like a sick and twisted murder mystery.

In Theriot’s novel, a killer is on the prowl in Hope, Louisiana. As he leaves a trail of mutilated bodies, a nightmare unfolds and law enforcement joins together as they hunt an elusive killer.
Murder, mystery, romance.

A sadistic killer. No soul at all. Fiction, but I'm sure based upon some facts from real life. Intriguing and disturbing combined. Wasn't sad for the ending to come. So much horrific killing. Definitely not for the weak hearted.

This was a very different book than what I'm used to reading. Besides being disturbing it was repetitious and boring throughout the beginning and middle of book. The ending kinda dropped off.

Working on my review now. It will be posted after it goes live on my blog, as per usual. It was disturbing, to say the least.
