Review of Ten Days Gone by Beverly Long

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

They know exactly when he’ll strike… They just have to find him first.

In all their years working for the Baywood police department, detectives A.L. McKittridge and Rena Morgan have never seen anything like it. Four women dead in forty days, each killed ten days apart. With nothing connecting the victims and very little evidence, the clock is already counting down to when the next body drops. A.L. and Rena will have to act fast if they’re going to find the killer’s next victim before he does.

But identifying the killer’s next likely target is only half the battle. With pressure pushing in from all sides, a promising breakthrough leads the detectives to Tess Lyons, a woman whose past trauma has left her too damaged to appreciate the danger she’s in. Unwilling to let another woman die, A.L. and Rena will put everything on the line to keep Tess safe and end the killer’s deadly spree once and for all—before time runs out again.

My Review:
4 Stars

This story was interesting. Knowing a majority of the usual secrets ahead of time did not take anything away from the book. It made for an interesting journey to discover the who and the actual why. 

A.L. and Rena have been stumped by the recent rash of murders. Every ten days they have a new victim with very little to go on. While they both know how to do their job and both do it well, they are still frustrated that a serial killer is running around with very little to show on their end. 

When a lucky break hits and they figure out the next victim both cops make it their mission to capture the bad guy and save the life of his next target. The problem is they don't know how to protect against a threat that so far has been a mystery. 

Definitely an attention capturing story.
