Obsessed by T.R. Ragan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Another terrific entry in the Lizzy Gardner series. T.R. Ragan brings us another depraved killer, and the cause of his psychosis is understandable and (unfortunately) believable. When a prominent radio talk show psychologist creates a fake stalker to increase ratings, a real stalker emerges. Once the scam is revealed and the danger becomes real, the psychologist becomes the "woman who cried wolf." Then her friends start dying, one by one.

Ragan builds tension slowly and weaves a second story line with the main plot. By the time you near the end, you'll be flipping pages fast enough to burn out your Kindle.

Ragan also nails us with the ultimate cliffhanger. It doesn't bother me because I'm a series reader, and book 5 is already waiting in my queue. But I can see where some readers were put off, having to wait for the next release to discover what happened.

By the way, one of the violent scenes made me flash back to Friday the 13th. I kid you not. Ragan's thrillers border on horror with lots of deranged twists. Just my cup of tea.
