Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!   When it comes to a book loaded with crime, horror, and suspense, I have always read novels written by women. Many of my fellow bookworms swear that men write better thrillers. This cannot be farther from the truth in my opinion.

A survivor of the serial killer known as the Shark , she has built her life up, helping other survivors of violent crimes. Riley and her devoted dog, Cooper, put food on the table and bring closure to cold cases. But when the Shark returns to finish what he started, her ado...
