Customer Reviews

Fast Paced and Hard to Put Down!

I loved this book.......well written with just enough creepyness. After reading this I immediately ran to the computer to find more books by this author. Sadly, there are only a couple others and they are hard to obtain. This has the mark of a good book- when you find yourself thinking about it days or weeks later!

Interesting Serial Killer...maybe

For a serial killer book, it was not so good, but as a book to keep you guessing until the end it was great. The main character, Carol, is naïve and sees herself as a real investigator in trying to solve this case.

Prolific Serial Killer Defies Capture

Nicolas Conde' has written a particularly gripping tale about the effect on ordinary people when a serial killer is on the loose. He captures the terror without graphically describing the horror. The actual killing is left to the imagination, which detracts not one bit from this thriller. As you view the events through Carol Warren, author and illustrator of childrens' books, you find your heart pounding with suspense. Carol's best friend becomes a victim, then another friend. Carol is approached at a bookstore autograph session by a man who claims to be an investigator who has a list of suspects. She is both put off and yet drawn to this man. I found this book difficult to put down and smugly assumed half-way through that I had easily identified the killer! Well, happily I was wrong and I was in for a roller coaster of events right up until the end. My only regret is that I have found no other books by this author. I highly recommend "In the Deep Woods" by Nicolas Conde' for anyone looking for a very well written mystery thriller. Enjoy!
