A review by em_beddedinbooks
The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker

Did not finish book.

I have given up this book halfway through - not because the book was so bad. It was okay. But I am a great psychothriller fan and to me somehow this didnot measure up. I was just skimming through pages at the end and decided to stop reading it. Someday perhaps I may resume it. The story deals with a psycho serial pattern killer who choses young beautiful women to be brides of Christ and kills them by draining away their blood. There is a detective who is on the killer's trail, his friend and forensic psychologist who is targeted by the killer, who is playing a cat and mouse game with the detective. Another woman, a lunatic asylum resident (who is very intelligent and who can see ghosts) who aids him as well as falls in love with him (mutual?) and who is again under threat from the killer. We come to know the name of the killer early in the book, the forensic psychiatrist and mental asylum lady love come to know him a bit too late.I cant tell the ending as I stopped at page 228/305. But the ending should be like any other book of this genre.
