They know exactly when he'll strike... They just have to find him first.
In all their years working for the Baywood police department, detectives A.L. McKittridge and Rena Morgan have never seen anything like it. Four women dead in forty days, each killed ten days apart. With nothing connecting the victims and very little evidence, the clock is already counting down to when the next body drops. A.L. and Rena will have to act fast if they're going to find the killer's next victim before he does.
But identifying the killer's next likely target is only half the battle. With pressure pushing in from all sides, a promising breakthrough leads the detectives to Tess Lyons, a woman whose past trauma has left her too damaged to appreciate the danger she's in. Unwilling to let another woman die, A.L. and Rena will put everything on the line to keep Tess safe and end the killer's deadly spree once and for all--before time runs out again.
Ten Days Gone is the first book in a new series featuring detective A.L. McKittridge and his partner Rena Morgan. This first book finds the team investigating a serial killer who has killed 4 women in the past 40 days. The deadline for the next murder is coming up and they need to figure out who the victim is before it is to late. It is pretty much a straight police procedural. I really enjoyed it.
The mystery was well written. I felt like the plot was well laid out and I was kept guessing until the end. The best parts of the story were the characters. I really liked A.L. as well as Rena. I felt like I got to know them as detectives as well as just regular people. The made a great team. I enjoyed the interactions between A.L. and his ex-wife as well as his daughter. I also loved the side story with Rena and her husband. I felt like those side stories made them seem a lot more human and not just caricatures. I highly recommend this one. I can't wait to see what happens next with these detectives.
