Labor Day Weekend is upon us…for many it is the last weekend of summer which means the last time to sit by the pool or on the beach just reading. I was thinking about what end of summer reads that I would be suggesting to folks and then I thought about football season. College football starts this weekend which means also this weekend I will also be suggesting to non-football fans what books to read while the game is on in the other room of their house. (I happen to love football but I do read while I’m watching the game.) I wonder what the difference in the type titles the customers will choose if there is a difference at all.
Here is a new title by a debut author that I think will work for Labor Day weekend either at the pool or while the game is on or maybe both!
The Stranger You Seek by Amanda Kyle Williams
The Wishbone Killer is terrorizing Atlanta, Georgia. Keye Street’s career in the FBI ended as her battle against addiction began. She has started a new life working as a a private detective taking jobs when she can find them from tracking down bail jumpers and adulterers to finding people who have stolen company secrets. The last thing she wants is to become involved in a case involving a serial killer but then the Atlanta Police Department comes calling but how can she say no since Lt. Aaron Rauser, her best friend, is doing the asking. As she uses her skills acquired in the FBI as a profiler, Keye begins to realize that the Wishbone Killer just might be someone she knows and all those close to her could be the killers next target.
I really loved this thriller. It was really fun to read especially if you are familiar with Atlanta and that the protagonist is a female detective. It is nice to have a ‘southern belle’ saving the day instead of just getting the vapors!
