    About this audiobook

    A young woman lies dead at the bottom of a waterfall, dressed in a wedding gown with a rose stem jammed down her throat. And in the small town of Graveyard Falls, the horrifying vision stirs a long-ago nightmare back to life.

    FBI Special Agent Cal Coulter gets called in to investigate the murder, which bears a terrifying resemblance to a series of killings committed thirty years ago: three teenage girls were found dead at the waterfall’s base, all bearing rose stems in their throats. The high school football star was convicted and imprisoned for those murders, so now Cal suspects that the real killer is still out there.

    Now, the body count is rising again. The monster’s sights are set on counselor Mona Monroe, Cal’s best friend’s widow…and the woman he’s always loved. Can Cal stop the killer before Mona becomes the next victim?

      Great book! I loved it. A serial killer is killing young women in Graveyard Falls and dressing them up as brides. There were murders in the town 30 years ago, but that killer is in prison. These could not be related, could they? It was very interesting how the author was able to intermix all of the stories going on within the big story. It is well-written with great character. I am excited to read the next Graveyard Falls book. I recommend this book!
    • 5/5
      Thirty years ago three young girls were murder at what is now called Graveyard Falls. Thirty years ago, Johnny Pike was convicted of the murders. Thirty years to the day, another murder has occurred with the same m.o., and now Johnny is due for parole.Mona, psychologist, amateur profiler, and the widow of a FBI agent now lives in Graveyard Falls, but she is there for a reason. She was given up for adoption from this town and she is determined to find her birth mother. She has an advice radio show and believes the evil psychotic killer may be calling her using the name Will. Special Agent Cal Coulter was the best friend and partner of Mona’s husband, Brent; his boss sends him to Graveyard Falls to investigate and solve this new murder. Cal has always had a thing for Mona and Mona is returning his attentions. Cal is holding back secrets from Mona, deep secrets. Meanwhile the Bride Killer, as the newspaper has name him, has killed another woman; both were dressed as Brides and left at the falls. The town is scared, Mona is dealing with her attraction to Cal, Johnny has always said he was innocence but was he really, the former Sheriff who is very ill has lost his grip on reality or has he, and the killer is slipping deeper and deeper into his warped world.There is a lot going in this small town; it is full of secrets, so many secrets, and mysteries that will come out in the end as secrets have a way of becoming revealed. This book has several plots, twist and turns that will keep the reader interested, it does not lag in any way. I found the action and suspense addictive. The characters, the story line, the plotting, and the pacing were just right. I thought several times I knew the answers to most of the secrets and mysteries, but I was wrong. Do not cheat and the read ending first, it will spoil the book. Be ready to be surprised.This one is a spine tingling read. I recommend this book to anyone that likes a good solid criminal mystery story with lots of romance thrown in for good measure; this book keeps the suspense in high gear from the beginning to the end. I hope there are more books to come in this same vein.I received this book from the publisher and Netgalley in return for an honest review.
    • 4/5
      This was my first time reading a book by Rita Herron and she truly knows how to spin a tale of mystery and suspense. The entourage of interesting characters kept me guessing about their true demeanor right through to the end. And the story moves at a quick, comfortable pace, with a crescendo of suspense all the way through. The author absolutely writes with a vivid imagination. Not all is what it seems as the story unfolds and the mystery unravels little by little with an intricate and well-crafted storyline.Be forewarned there are a few sexual scenes and a handful of vulgarities, so if that bothers you, just know you’ll have some skimming to do. I must also add that sometimes the dialogue felt disjointed and rather clumsy. That being said, the net result is a book that constantly entices the reader to read just one more chapter before putting it down. I enthusiastically recommend it to readers who love suspense. 4 stars.I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
