What Amazon Says:

The book opens on a Saturday night in 1978, hours before a soon-to-be-infamous murderer descends upon a Florida sorority house with deatly results.  The lives of those who survive, including a sorority president and key witness, Pamela Schumacher, are forever changed.  Across the country, Tina Cannon is convinced her missing friend was targeted by the man the papers refer to as the All-American Sex Kiler - and that he's struck again.  Determined to find justice, the 2 join forces as their search for answers leads to a final shocking confrontation.  This book doesn't put its focus on the murderer.  It's more interested in his victims - and the survivors who are on a mission to catch him before he kills again.

This was a pretty good book.  It is based on the true story of the Ted Bundy killings.  The author took a lot of liberties with the details, but the general facts of the Florida sororoty house deaths were true.  It is captivating from the start when the head of the sorority is trying to figure out what happened and not being able to wrap her head around what was going on.  Overall it is well written and it reads like a "based on a true story" tale.  The only defult I found with it personally, is I felt there was too much time spent on the second story that was happening in this book.  I think it would have been better to just focus on the one, but that is just me.
