Hannah orphaned as a child, brought up by her unloving grandparents, her only love was dancing. Cruelly struck down with back spasms before a professional career. She will receive a box with a withered rose with the head cut off and a note. A man will approach women on the street go back to their place and stab them in the carotid artery, sending blood through the air, on the furniture. Kyle a deeply disturbed man will confess his love to Hannah, ring her, demand to see her, write a book about her, only because they went to the same high school. Saw the twist a mile away but still ok.

Picked up this paperback and it was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed the read, for a 1987 thriller I've read worse, but I was disappointed with the ending. I felt it ended rather abruptly and tied things up in a way that it felt like there should be a second book. Overall, not bad
