Search - Darkness Peering

A scary story with a cunning psychopath who murders young girls very much like another girl was murdered 18 years ago. This book is a smooth mixture of the psychological thriller, the "woman in jeopardy", the whodunit, and the Police Procedural. With the first murder, Police Chief Nalen Storrow thought he left violence behind when he moved his family to Flowering Dogwood, Maine. The investigation into this girl's murder leads Storrow to believe the crime may have been committed by his own son, Billy.

Eighteen years later, Nalen Storrow's grown daughter who's also a cop, becomes obsessessed with this unsolved murder. Shortly after she opens the investigation, another young woman disappears. Billy becomes a suspect again. But their are others in town with long buried secrets. The staggering revelation that's revealed is surprising.

A good quick book to read whose suspense makes it one I'd recommend.

This was a very good thriller. Kept me guessing.
