Raine (rainelu) | 268 comments Rachel and Patty were two sisters who lived in Marin County California in the late 1970's. Their father was the lead detective at the police department. He was the type of man everyone adored - his daughters, and women.

AFTER HER is a mystery about the Sunset Strangler. This is a serial killer who kills 15 women in the mountains behind Rachel and Patty's house. This case changes their father since he works day and night trying to solve the crime.

This book is just very haunting. It is told through the eyes of Rachel. We see her grow up and follow how the early part of her life has affected her throughout. The beginning of this book was somewhat slow - it was interesting but I just couldn't see where it was going. Then I did.

I can recommend this book - it is sticking with me as it is part coming of age story, part mystery, and part a story of a man and how he copes with who he is.
