The DVD Killer

Rate this book
The sexually abused body of a young talented actress is discovered at Lake Mohegan, in wealthy Fairfield, Connecticut. Detective Frank Gianni’s sixth sense screams serial killer the minute he lays eyes on her. This erotically charged thriller calls upon the synergism of Detective Gianni and rookie Detective Brenda Corrino to find the killer before he strikes again. The woman’s brutal rape and sadistic murder are digitally recorded onto a DVD and delivered to local talent agent Jay Martin. With the help of the new Medical Examiner Dr. Darren Crowe, Detective Corrino infiltrates the prime suspect’s erotic world in an attempt to confirm her suspicions. However, the investigation is developing much too slowly for Detective Corrino and she decides to take matters into her own hands. Unfortunately, the killer is one step ahead of her.

Police Work- Gritty, Graphic, and Dangerous, All to Find A Killer...

A police force faced with horrible deaths of young actresses and models living in a high class area, but murdered in disturbing ways. Detectives Frank Gianni and Brenda Corrino investigate extensively, Frank worried about a serial killer from the extent of the macabre scene.
Brenda is a strong woman,a very good detective and wants to find this suspect before he repeats such a disgusting encounter with another young lady. The characters are wonderfully described, giving you a complete feel for their thinking and ideas. There is an eclectic mix of eroticism,romance, fear and loss through the exciting plot.
An enthralling look into a police investigation, that holds your interest and keeps you reading from start to finish!!

This is a great novel in my opinion. It's intense with a range of different emotions being woven in. It gives you an excellent insight to police procedural as well.
The whole novel is very well balanced and thought out.
Lots of intrigue and suspense that will keep you interested throughout. I read this in one sitting!!
Looking out for more to come!

The DVD Killer

Received this book from an another authors promotion for a honest review. Brenda and Frank are detectives assigned to the case of bizarre murders of beautiful women. This story was graphic, but we'll done. The author wrote with a good story line, well developed characters and plenty of twists to keep you on line and needles. Bravo!

The premise is simple: Three men are raping a woman. Then the woman is murdered in a totally disgusting fashion. The killer thinks he is a gift that all women should appreciate whether they liked it or not.

WOW, OH WOW! I fell in love with Brenda in another book, and The DVD Killer showed how she left the police force when she caught the killer. I saw in this book that she had always ben in charge of her relationship with men, and though I guessed the killer, this fast paced book kept me rapidly reading!

A fun and fast paced thriller that introduces a female detective who becomes personally involved with a serial killer. Lots of over the top sex and murder - not necessarily a criticism, but know what you're getting into.
