Heartsick
by Chelsea Cain
Just finished the first chapter. Whoa, I was not ready!
This chick is the kind of crazy that will be my yardstick for serial killers from now on (As in, "Is serial killer A anywhere near Gretchen Lowell? No. Well, then, s/he should probably take up gardening because s/he does not count."
I never want to be on the radar of a chick half as awful. (Hammerandnailshammerandnails OMG.)
.....
So, the twistedness continued...Two years ago, Archie Sheridan, the lead detective of the Beauty Killer Task force was kidnapped and tortured by Gretchen Lowell. For ten days, Gretchen Lowell, the Beauty Killer, made him want to die. At the end of the ten days, she turns herself in, leaving him with emotional and physical scars which remind him every day of that horror. Now, there is another serial killer killing the schoolgirls of Portland and Archie Sheridan has been asked to help catch another murderer.
What is great about this story is its original take on the serial killer story, which can get formulaic if you read widely. Gretchen Lowell is beautiful, malicious and manipulative. I hate her for damaging Archie Sheridan, but the story wouldn't be the same without her.
