She was now in seclusion living almost as a hermit and looking through hollow eyes described as “the thousand-yard stare.” Someone, presumably from the past, had surfaced and was killing the guys in the picture one-by-one. Enter Rebekka Franck, a recent returnee to the village where she lived with her father and daughter Julie after running away from an abusive husband. She accepted a small-town stringer job for a tabloid newspaper as the price to be paid for the safety of a home away from husband Peter. Rebekka’s previous assignments had been exciting including one in Iraq where she was briefly held captive by insurgents. She abandoned hubby and career for the sake of Julie and went home to daddy, just in time to be present at the first killing of Denmark’s first serial killer. Fans of police procedurals will poke holes all over the story, but it remains good because of the Denmark setting. I felt the characters had a different lifestyle, one that is more socialist or even humanitarian in dealing with everyday events. And then there are the murders which eventually happen at a rate sufficient to earn the title “serial murders.” Rose did a good job of distraction in arriving at the final surprise ending."
"What a great set of books."
"I Love Love Love this series!"
"Very good series!"
"Some of the content is a bit macabre, but Willow Rose knows how to capture your attention."
"I was in the mood for books of this genre and prefer authirs who can carry a tale through more than one book, the entire series made for entertaining reading."
"Loved it."
"These are well constructed mysteries, holding the readers interest while progressing from one event to another with the core characters intact."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The following chapter skips from 1977 to 2012, new characters come into the story, also the spiders come into the story line (Willow adds the children's rhymes to her story, which adds to the story line as you read). This story isn't a sugar and spice story, it deals with real possibilities and cruelties of what some people are capable of doing to others."
"Emma seems like a strong character, has some home issues that will make for a good background stories going forward and definitely adds some intense mystery in this book, and being a writer with definite curiosity, it will lead her into situations that will make for great reading--as it did in this book also. There's a lot going on in this book with Emma moving to a small island, dealing with her special needs son and a moody teenage daughter, a separation of her elderly parents, money issues, and everything that goes with being a single parent."
"I wanted a murder mystery without a description of a pointless disgusting very detailed scene of the raping of a child and graphic detail of another small child being molested :( Will be skipping any other books by this author."
"Also this book was not well edited: words transposed, words omitted; sloppy."
"Explicit details of horror page after page were simply too much for me."
"It did have a few spelling and grammar errors, but wasn't littered with them. Mostly I wanted to find out what happened to Astrid and how she connects to the present day happenings. The bad guy parts were gory and horrific. Decent mystery (if you don't mind horror aspects), but the end, if you read just suspend belief there. I would almost consider checking out more of the series, not becuase something here grabbed me that well or left me wanting more, but because I'm curious as how this turns to a series."

"At first I was skeptical about it holding the attention of an eleven year old, but he absolutely adored it!"
"So even though I am an adult, I have never been required to read this story."

"Classic story and the great feel of an old book."
"I should have read this classic story of redemption years ago."
"In the process of re-reading some of the classics, such an enjoyable story full of human faults/free will and God's mercy and provision for us."
