Summary

Failure means more people die.

“The Big One” could make Sam's career or...break him.

FBI Special Agent Samuel Kerman has been tasked to catch a wildly erratic serial killer dropping bodies in Pennsylvania state parks. The victims differ, and the manner of murder changes every time. Amid the mountains of physical evidence, only a mysterious gray dust and declarations of guilt or innocence link the crimes.

It's not much to work with, and the case drags on for months. Then, things go from bad to worse when the killer makes it personal. Family, friends, strangers...everybody's in danger of being scratched off.

I was engrossed by the suspense in this book from the first chapter . The ending took me by surprise. Julie C. Gilbert does a great job of balancing the stories.

Interesting and unusual

Format: audiobook
Narrator: Rick Struve

A serial killer on a mission to find the perfect way to kill someone, only those that deserve it though unless an innocent needs to die to distract the cops or as collateral damage!

A good psychological thriller with a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming.

Narration was good.

Scary killer makes for a great book.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought the plot was cleverly written giving both the detectives point of view and the crazy world of the killer, and it was enough of each to keep you hooked and listening for more. The blurb did have me wondering if it was going to be just a detective story or if it would have a touch of science fiction in it but as you listen the grey dust is easily explained and is a clever plot twist (there is no sci-fi, the bodies don't disappear leaving behind grey dust). A number of people died in some gruesome ways and although you knew how the story didn't go into a lot of gruesome details, just left it up to you to imagine, if you wanted to.
Bodies are being left in parks, with nothing connecting them or linking them like race, gender, age, rich, poor nothing seems to matters to this equal opportunities killer. The FBI calls in special agent Samuel Kerman to investigate and the only clue they have is a grey dust found on the bodies. Tracking down the dust proves to be more elusive than catching the killer. Until Sam's girlfriend provides a vital clue as to the origin of the grey powder and then all bets are off. And a game of cat and mouse ensures but Sam and his team must be careful that they don't become the hunted.
I liked the narrator and thought he did a good job with all the characters building up the tension and emotion.
