Disturbance by Jan Burke

Here's a nightmare for you:  Being captured by a sadistic serial killer who you helped put in jail....


Simon & Schuster sent me a copy of this egalley for review (thank you).  The book will be published at the end of June, so make a note now so you won't miss it.


I missed the first book in this series, "Bones", but this story does well as a stand alone read.  Ms. Burke knows how to chill your soul.


Irene Kelly is working for her newspaper and living life happily ever after with Frank until she gets a phone call telling her that Nick Parrish has escaped from prison.  She gets police protection, lives life nervously, and tries to track Nick down.  The cops tell her and her cop husband to mind their own business, but we all know how well that works.  It's more than likely you'll have to save yourself instead of relying on them.


The author does an excellent job of instilling the fear and loathing for the serial killer's actions.  Ms. Burke is very good at psychological terror.  She also throws in some twists and turns in this story that no one could see coming.


I had to read the whole thing in one evening.  No way was I going to set it down and come back; I had to know what happened!


Get a copy for you, it's well worth the read.  You can even grab the first book and read that while waiting for this book to come out.  They'll both scare you!


Happy reading.
