Publisher's summary

It's been seven years since the Seattle Strangler terrorized the city. His victims were all young, pretty, their lifeless bodies found wrapped in a home-sewn white dress. But there was one who miraculously escaped death, just before the Strangler disappeared.

Lara Church has only hazy memories of her long-ago attack. What she does have is a home in Austin, a job, and a chance at a normal life at last. Then Texas Ranger James Beck arrives on her doorstep with shattering news: The Strangler is back. And this time, he's in Austin.

He's always craved her, even as he killed the others. For so long he's been waiting to unleash the beast within. And this time, he'll prove he holds her life in his hands - right before he ends it forever....

Unlucky Seven

It has been seven years since a young girl has turned up strangled and put in a home sewn white dress. It seems like the Seattle Strangler is following Lara Church (the victim who got away) from Seattle to Austin, what is the reason? Will the Texas Rangers be able to catch him before he tries to kill Lara again? The mystery and suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat in this book. This was a great book to listen to, if you like mystery and suspense as I do this book is for you.

Double Danger

Predictable and unpredictable.The story starts with a horrifying attack,taking the listener through all the clues bringing you to one predictable conclusion,but then turns it all upside down with the unexpected twist towards the end.I’ve heard this narrator before and I have to say,she’s improved.

Forgotten horror

Laura’s lack of memory seems like both a blessing and a curse. As she gathers up the missing pieces I kept waiting for the danger to come front and center. I was really glad that Beck turned from investigating to paying closer attention on many levels.

Great Story with Great Narrator!

Very entertaining with plenty of suspense! The story kept me listening anxiously all the way through, anticipating what would happen next. And when you think you have it figured out, events occur to make you reconsider. Purchased when I saw Johanna Parker narrated. She's one of my top favorites and she does a wonderful job!

REALLY AWESOME!!!

This was one of the most enjoyable Serial Killer Thrillers. that I have read. The narration is great , and the Author, Mary Burton, did a spectacular and intriguing job of creating tension, crafting characters, blending in twists, and bringing them all together in a climax stretched with a wonderfully sensual pause. I look forward to listening to more Mary Burton books!!!
