Somebody is killing young women in Torrance, Florida, and as nobody knows who or why, panic is slipping in.
Sandy Crosbie has recently moved to Torrence with her husband and two teenage children. However, soon after arriving, her husband leaves her, and now she's facing not only her life falling apart, but also a killer targeting girls like her daughter.
In a town like Torrance, everybody knows everybodies business, but the identity of the killer remains a mystery.
In the book, journal entries by the killer alternate with descriptions of town life, which should make for a chilling read.
However, I had the killer pegged about half way through and didn't find the book as thrilling as it could have been
