Thriller
The bodies of naked young women, each carved with letters and numbers, are
turning up dead all around Seattle. The letters match the initials of Abby
Locke, a character from Creep, in prison for the attempted murder of a
police officer. Locke is on the verge of being indicted for her involvement in
the Tell Tale Heart killings from a year ago. But is she really capable of
such violence? At least one fan, apparently obsessed with her innocence, wants
the charismatic Locke freed—and is determined to continue a murder spree
until she is….
Review: Obsession is taken to the next level
in Jennifer Hillier’s Freak.
“Free Abby Maddox” is what the
killer wants, and that person is willing to do anything, including killing women,
to make that happen. Jerry Isaac can’t forget Maddox’s attack on his life last
year, but now he has to ask for her help in solving these murders. As he and
his former partner delve into this twisted new serial killer, they are running
out of time not only to stop a killer but to keep Maddox behind bars.
Freak
picks up about a year where Creep
left off, yet the scars are still visible between the main characters. I
enjoyed visiting the characters from Creep
as well as some new ones. Hillier creates sympathetic, three-dimensional
characters all around. The novel is fast-paced with a quieter intensity.
Hillier weaves a complex plot to a thrilling conclusion. When I thought I had
everything figured out, a new revelation took me by surprise. I also loved how
the author slipped in her blog title, The
Serial Killer Files, into the novel.
Although not as intense of a read as
Creep, Freak by Jennifer Hillier keeps readers guessing. I can’t wait
until the next book!
