Though I'm not usually into crime novels, I thought I may as well read it while I had it. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed this novel quite a bit. I recommend it to anyone looking for their next fiction to read. ( )Finally finished what should have been a page-turner but turned into a bit of a chore. Scaredy Cat was overly long and disappointing after Sleepy Head. I don't much like knowing who dun it all the way through, and the procedural bits weren't strong enough. I only stayed with it because one of the serial killers had changed identities and I knew he had to be one of the cast members, if not one of the police team itself. I should have just peeked at the end darn it. It was a vicious calculated murder. The killer selected his victim at Euston station, followed her home on the tube and strangled her to death in front of her child. At the same time, killed the same way, a second body is discovered at the back of king's cross Station. It is a grisly coincidence that eerily echoes the murder of 2 other woman, stabbed to death months before on the same day... It is DI Tom Thorne who sees the link and comes to the horrifying conclusion. This is not a serial killer the police are up against. This is 2 of them. Finding the body used to be the worst part of the job. Not anymore. Now each time a body is found, Thorne must live with the knowledge that somewhere out there is a second victim, waiting to be discovered... Didn't grab me, Didn't finish it. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061032204, Mass Market Paperback)It is almost unthinkable that a single maniac would murder two women miles apart on the same day. Yet someone followed Carol Garner home from the train station and strangled her to death in front of her three-year-old son. And, afterwards, Ruth Murray died in a similar manner. The evidence is leading Detective Inspector Tom Thorne to a stunning conclusion: there isn't only one serial killer on the prowl, but a pair of them, working in tandem. And any corpse that turns up in the future just might be accompanied by a second. To stop them both, Thorne must catch a man whose need to manipulate is as great as his need to kill; a man who will threaten those closest to Thorne himself; a man who will show him that the ability to inspire terror is the deadliest weapon of all.
