Serial

by Jim Lusby

Serial  opens with a haunting first person narrative. A middle-aged male describes picking up a lone girl hitchiker. Within pages however, her voice disappears from the scene and the man is alone once again. Days later, the body of a man is discovered and within his pockets lies the typed sheets of that first narrative. The Gardai follow the text closely, and soon find the hitchhiker's body as well. The police are convinced that the two murders are by the same killer. But the first seems to have been committed by a man, the second by a woman. Who is the hunter and who is the victim? The female detective, Kristina Galetti, has her thoughts, but in the end the decision might come down to who knows the nature of the human soul better.

This book started of interesting, but I quickly tired of the writing style. At first I thought the ending was rather confusing, but after thinking about it for a minute, I realized the author had answered all the questions raised in the novel.
