I'll hit the bookstore, then the video store, and then kill people who get on my last nerve When I received the book, I opened it to get a brief feel for it by reading the first few paragraphs, and then take it up later. The next thing I knew, I was thirty pages into it. At that point, I was scared of Kevin, afraid for Gisele in spite of her bitchiness, mad at her husband for cheating on her, and sad for David, who lost his beloved wife in a plane crash.
That's a heck of an accomplishment for only thirty pages!

The rest of the book lived up to the first impression! This book is exciting, with great buildups through the changes in points of view. The plot lines are expertly written and executed, and descriptions make the reader feel as if they're right in the middle of all of the action.
New Martinsville is a sleepy little small town, like small towns across the nation. Through excerpts of the diary, the killer has a powerful voice throughout the book.
Are You an Author?
He expresses his frustrations and hatred for others, and his lack of empathy for anyone outside himself and his own issues. His arch enemy is Chris Grett, who broke the killer's leg in high school and made it appear to be an accident. Chris is such a jerk, the reader can't help but hope his body parts wash up on the beach. He takes some wrong turns in his investigation. At the same time, he learns some secrets about his best friend from boyhood.
I definitely recommend the book, especially for those of us living in small towns and thinking nothing ever happens! Kevin Clark was still suffering from the effects of the bullying he endured during High school. This, plus his mother dying when he was only 15 have manifested underlying mental problems. Kevin thought that some people really needed to be taught a lesson in how to treat other people and maybe he was the one to teach them. Gisele was unhappy with her life. Her marriage had started to collapse. She was certain her husband was having an affair. Right from the start you know who the murderer is and why he did it.
But the thing is how is he going to get caught when he has covered his tracks so well? The suspense was so full on I found myself subconsciously holding my breath at times. Lively has done well to get the reader into the mind of the schizophrenic and his way of thinking and analysing situations. Both had lost someone that was very dear to them. Both stood out from the crowd, David with his size and Kevin with his Punk look.
