Only Time Will Tell
A GRIPPING SERIAL KILLER THRILLER
Only Time Will Tell is an absolutely gripping serial killer thriller about a female police detective torn between love & fear, trust & doubt and a desire for revenge. Will she make the right choice?
An unknown woman is murdered and detectives Pierce Carson, Chelsea Madden and a new recruit, Dean Weston, are assigned to the case. Their search for the killer leads to several dead ends and a suspected drug connection, as even more people are killed. In the process of helping to solve the first murder and those that follow, Chelsea realizes that she is walking a very thin line between personal revenge and professional responsibility. She too has suffered at the hands of a murderer, who brutally snuffed out the life of her parents, giving her a reason to join the police force.
To complicate matters, she finds herself attracted to Dean. She knows little about the newcomer to Homicide, only that he’d been a successful undercover agent. Normally a loner, she finds him surprisingly easy to talk to, as she unburdens herself of her past, kept secret for years. As the case becomes more complicated and passions are stirred, questions arise about a mole in the force, and Dean is on the list of possible suspects. Chelsea is torn between trust and doubt, fear and love; her desire for vengeance and belief in the system of which she is now a part.
The strands of the plot become intertwined, with unexpected twists and turns, and Chelsea finds herself caught in a life and death struggle in a most unexpected way. Only time will tell if she survives to right the wrong or decides to let it go and find a new direction for her life.
Detective Chelsea Madden is the cool, calm, and collected hero of Only Time Will Tell. Putting her life on the line, she doesn’t pull any punches, searching only for the truth, and for the person who takes lives on her watch. Intelligent, resourceful, and uncompromising, Chelsea will take readers on a memorable, white-knuckled journey in this suspenseful, gripping serial killer thriller.

Good novel that will keep you reading continuously, it starts slow but then gradually increases its tempo until it reached fast events.
I don’t know if the version I read had mistakes or the original book itself has mistakes, but they were sometimes annoying mistakes an intermediate could recognise them.
The story is somehow like most suspense stories but different in another way.I would lie if I didn’t say that some chapters really surprised me but I was hoping for a more surprising ending.
All in all, the book has some mistakes but a decent story. For people who like a short novel with little characters but decent twists this would be a good choice.I hope to see a movie for it soon.

"Only Time Will Tell" is another of my favorite murder mystery best sellers now available. This novel is by far one of the best thriller books with a dose of fraud and financial crimes.
An excellent detective short story though with a surprising difference. This book will have you keep turning the pages till the end. You'll find well developed characters to entice you through the whole story. James Kipling has yet again succeeded in writing an excellent novella. I highly recommend this book to anyone.
