| I Am Not a Serial Killer (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Leine Basso has left her old life as a government
assassin behind, and moved from L.A. to Seattle to start anew. When the
contestants on the reality TV show “Serial Date” begin to become victims of a
cannibalistic serial killer, Leine is hired to provide on-set security.
Returning to L.A., she finds herself in the middle of gritty, bloody action,
which soars to new heights when her estranged daughter returns and is kidnapped
by the killer, who begins making demands on Leine that plunge her right back
into the life she’s tried to leave behind.
In Serial Date,
author D. V. Berkom exposes the dark underbelly of society, from the unreal
make believe world of reality TV to sordid politics, and paints a picture in
such vivid colors and bold strokes you feel you’re there. Crisp, crackling
dialogue and characters you have no problem believing in, are the hallmarks of
Berkom’s story, and the action, which is non-stop from start to finish, will
have you on the edge of your chair, panting for more.
This is mystery as mystery should be – intricate,
non-linear plot with more twists than a bag of pretzels, a lead character you
can identify with, warts and all, and a satisfying conclusion that, if you’ve
read carefully, will surprise you as you slap your forehead and say, “why didn’t
I see that coming?”
