About this ebook

He's their secret admirer, wooing them with phone calls, love letters and special gifts.

From a distance, he admires them. Desires them. Despises them. And when he gets close enough, he kills them all...

Adams County, Alabama is the kind of town where everyone knows each other's business, the kind of place where doors stay unlocked. Until a psychopath comes calling.

Dubbed 'The Secret Admirer', he woos his victims with phone calls, love letters and gifts, before stalking, kidnapping and then brutally murdering them.

A terrifying game is underway. Sheriff Bernie Granger – in her first big case – is desperate to stop a twisted serial killer before another woman is slaughtered. But is she getting closer to catching him – or being drawn even deeper into his deadly web?

Bad editing and proof reading changed a 5* to 3* rating. Missing speech marks, words running together minus spacing and poor punctuation. Having just read a couple of her books in paper back form and found none of these issues it would seem someone transferring books from hard copy to e-book version needs firing!!!

Would of given a 5 but the editing is terrible. . So many missed spaces and commas. Made reading a little difficult in places.
