The Serial Killer's Girl by Lynda Stacey

-

Imagine for a moment that your father was a serial killer. A famous serial killer that everyone knows. What would your life be like? The Serial Killer’s Girl is the story of a girl trying to overcome her family. When I saw this one available for tour from Rachel's Random Resources, I knew it was for me!


Does a killer’s blood run in the family?
Lexi Jakes thought she could run from her past.

But when her biological mother is found dead, strangled with a red silk scarf and holding a chess piece, Lexi knows that her worst nightmare has come true. Because the murder has all the hallmarks of her own serial killer father, renown strangler Peter Graves.

Now with her own precious daughter’s life in danger, Lexi will do anything to keep her child safe…she is her father’s daughter after all.

Review:

Nature vs. Nurture. The timeless question and subject of many studies. Lexi has a famous serial killer for a father. Did she inherit his killing traits? This blurb of this book caught my attention right away. I know it is fiction but the idea behind it is still interesting. This is my first book by Lynda Stacey and I enjoyed her writing style. The book is told from multiple POV but we don’t know who the POV belongs to right away. I also loved the cover. If you look carefully you can see the outline of a person against the fence; something I didn’t catch at first.

Author Bio:

Lynda Stacey is the bestselling psychological suspense author of over five novels. Alongside her writing she is a fulltime sales director for an office furniture company and has been a nurse, an emergency first response instructor and a PADI Staff Instructor.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle.
