The Vanishing Season by Joanna Schaffhausen

2.0

The story felt very familiar to me. Victim survives serial killer, changes name, enters law enforcement and is convinced her tormentor has returned by some acts of violence no one else sees a connection among. These characters felt very one dimensional. Former victim, seems together but really isn’t, washed up law enforcement agent who saved victim comes to help her, small town cops bungle around while trying to hide their own secrets, and killer who connects self to serial killers crimes and wants to outshine his deeds.
It wasn’t terrible but I skipped big chunks and missed nothing. I figured out the killer fairly quickly too.
