Publisher's summary

For more than two years, he held Seattle in a terror grip. A cold-blooded killer who abducted young mothers right in front of their sons and murdered them execution style. Then, as suddenly as the killings began, they seemed to stop.

Susan Blanchette is looking forward to a relaxing weekend getaway with her fiance, Allen, and young son, Matthew. But something about the remote lake house doesn't feel right. A woman vanished from the area a year ago, and now Susan thinks she's spotted someone lurking around the property. And when Allen disappears, her fear grows....

A psychopath has returned, ready to strike again. Someone who can't resist the urge to kill, who derives pleasure from others' pain, and who is drawing nearer to Susan as each minute of the weekend ticks by. But she's just one pawn at the heart of a killer's deadly game. A killer who is unrelenting, unstoppable, and absolutely vicious....

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook

This story had many plots, but in a good way. I only had one “minor issue” they kid voice irritated me but the other voices were very good. Overall a great listen and the plot twist had me guessing even at the end.

Good twist.

I like Kevin O’Brien’s books because the stories are different and are very entertaining. I love the mastery and the suspense. In this particular book I did not see the twist coming. It’s entertaining and an easy listen.

Well written

Really enjoyed this story. I did think that Mattie was a spoiled naughty boy at times. His mom had a lot of patience with him.

Another great story

I got so involved in this one that I couldn’t walk away from it! Finished within 24 hours, you kept me guessing that’s for sure. Great way to wrap it up at the end.

Intriguing and exciting

I loved this novel with all the twists and turns. The characters each had their own uniquely different history that intertwined with the plot. Kudos to Kevin O’Brian for writing another thrilling novel.
