Toby Bones is one very sick young man. Great plot involving a serial killer who stalks his favorite prey, baits a trap to reel her in, and then, once he's done with her, turns his predatory attentions to her completely oblivious family. The reader will have to ignore the fact that the female Toby has stalked (and done some pretty nasty things to) refuses to call the authorities despite SEVERAL opportunities to do so. Had she done so, it would have been a very short book indeed... Despite that irksome detail, Layman has written a truly scary tale that will have you checking your surroundings to make sure you're not being followed.
