MISC REVIEW: Stalking Susan - Julie Kramer

BOOK BLURB:
Television reporter Riley Spartz is recovering from a heart-breaking, headline-making catastrophe when a long-time police source drops two homicide files in her lap in the back of a dark movie theatre. Both cold cases involve women named Susan strangled on the same day, one year apart. Last seen alive in one of the poorest neighbourhoods, their bodies are each dumped in one of the city's wealthiest areas. Riley senses a pattern between those murders and others pulled from a computer database of old death records. She must broadcast a warning soon, especially to viewers named Susan, because the deadly anniversary is very fast approaching. But not just lives are at stake ? so are careers!


REVIEW:

If you want mystery, a fair turn of the wheel for karma and a tale that’s well written, then you’d do well to pick up this novel. Add to this some very good twists, excellently written dialogue and an ending that is pretty hard to predict and you’ve got an absolute corker of a mystery crime novel. Whilst I haven’t read any of Julie’s work before this title will ensure that others are moved up my To Be Read Pile pretty quickly.
