A serial killer is on the loose in Redding, California. The city is terrorized. Five murders in as many months. The killer is stealthy, cunning. When forensic artist, Annie Kingston, discovers the sixth body almost in her backyard, the police feel that the serial killer is taunting her.
Annie has to draw the unknown victims for identification, dreading each job. Some parents, husband, or children are going to have their lives ripped apart. Oppression lays heavy on the area and Annie and her Christian friends are driven to pray for God’s intervention like they’ve never prayed before.
As the dread mounts, the killer seems to almost laugh at the efforts the police make to solve the crimes. Who will be next? Or will they be able to catch the murderer before its too late?
Even though DEAD OF NIGHT is book three in the Hidden Faces series, it easily stands alone. Readers will be able to identify with Anne, her struggles with her rebellious teenager, and her attempts to keep her family safe in uncertain times. I was instantly drawn into the story, and it held my attention until the end.
Brandilyn writes with an unsurpassed skill of getting into the head of the killer. It is actually frightening to read those points of view. I have nothing negative to say about DEAD OF NIGHT.
