A diary of a female serial killer is found by the man who was tracking her. While reading it, he discovers that she killed people because she 'saw their evil in their reflections'. He reads accounts of how her dependence on alcohol grew worse with each death, leading to her child being born stillborn and finds that, although she is dead, there is a powerful connection between them.

Warning! This book is not for the fainthearted.
Prepare to be dislodged from your comfort zone when you enter the world of Sarah Caroline Fletcher, a female, alcoholic, serial killer who, by the tender age of 21, has already notched up an inch-deep investigation file.
Her methods of murder become increasingly more complex as the story progresses; the graphic description of her actions looming large in the mind’s eye.
It seems that no-one can permeate the shell of this sociopath. Inexplicably drawn to other murderers and rapists, she justifies her killings as for ‘the greater good of mankind.’
However, the dark delusions she experiences reflect another angle to the story.
Whilst closely reading her private journal, looking to piece together the full extent of the human carnage, the investigating officer finds himself drawn into her world of hate and horror.
The reader can only watch hopelessly, as their lives fatally entwine. DC Daniels’ life becomes engulfed in the madness of Sarah’s world; his obsessive search threatening to destroy the fabric of his life, and of those closest to him.
Read from a place of safety!

Really scared me, and the author is so nice

When the film Se7en came out, it established new ground by giving time to explain the motivation of the killer. Beth Murray’s novel follows this idea. Both killer and detective have their place on centre stage in a whirlwind of suspense and horror. The descriptions of the murders are graphic and disturbing! The story rushes at breakneck speed as the lives of killer and detective interlink, which leads to a savage twist at the end that you won’t see coming.
