Midnight Owl

by Viv Drewa

When the dismembered body of a young woman is found, Detectives Joe Leverette and Philip Marsden are assigned the case. After investigating the Port Huron, Michigan area where the six body parts were found, but there's a twist in the case: The Murderer goes after each individual who found the parts, one by one.

Leverette becomes interested in one of the women, Carole Sage, a sensitive, but because of the case, he's not able to take it any further. Everyone on the police force sees his infatuation, but Carole does not.

Each of the six witnesses has a dream about the murderer removing the particular body part they found that night. They are startled awake and hear an owl hoot three times. None of them want to reveal their dream to the detectives.

Carole sees the actual murder and each murder as it happens to the witnesses. The police chief, Billingsley, understands her 'gift' and sets up a sting to catch him. It fails and they have to regroup to think of something else. Two witnesses are dead and they don't want a third to die.

This book is for 18+ due to the violence.

Great mystery thriller. When first a leg is discovered in the park by Amy Lang, then more body parts show up, the police know they have a demented killer on their hands.Then parts of another body start showing up. Detectives Leverette and Marsden know something strange is going on, but they have only scratched the surface is this suspense filled novel that has a touch of the supernatural and is going to have readers clinging to the pages. For me this was a quick read, but maybe that was because I couldn't put it down. Great job and I have a feeling book 2 is going to be a must have.
