A group of golfers find a woman's decapitated head lying against on the of the Grand Strand's golf courses. It signals the arrival of a pyschopathic serial killer who has baffled law enforcement in a coast-to-coast killing spree. The killer, looking for a worthy challenger has brought his game to Myrtle Beach, a town referred to by tourists and locals alike as paradise. He has come to the right place.
The mystery is actually pretty good. Well thought out - the clues are all there. The detectives deducing the identity of the serial killer is written pretty well. Sure - there are some plot holes big enough to drive a truck through but overall its fun putting the pieces together. The Myrtle Beach locale is a bonus for those of us familiar with the area. The childish banter between the two detectives is annoying and distracting. The cops make fart jokes and fat jokes while standing over the mutilated body parts of a victim. The author must not spend a lot of time around other men because he has no clue how men talk to each other.
Great book! I would highly recommend anyone living in or near Myrtle beach read this, but also anyone e who loves a great story! Super character development and just a great pace for a thriller/mystery!
Perfect beach book, but also great for book clubs!
