One of my favorite new authors is Chelsea Cain. Have you read her "Sweetheart" or "Heartsick"? Chelsea Cain's series features Detective Archie Sheridan and serial killer Gretchen Lowell, who have captivated fans through these two nail-biting books. Both of them were multi-week bestsellers in The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. Due out on September 1st is her latest novel, "Evil at Heart", when Archie and Gretchen return; Gretchen is still on the loose and Archie is struggling to move on after his ploy to catch her went spectacularly wrong. They've entered an accord of sorts—Archie agrees not to kill himself if she agrees not to kill anyone else. But suddenly there's something else to contend with that might be even worse—a copycat, killing people as a tribute to the Beauty Killer herself. At least they hope it's someone new, for the prospect of Gretchen on another killing spree is more than Archie can bear.
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Ms. Cain's new book. If you haven't read her previous books, you can find them in FICTION-Cain. You have plenty of time to catch up on the history behind Archie and Gretchen before "Evil at Heart" hits our shelves.
If you need more convincing, here is what Stephen King says about Chelsea Cain: “We’ve been down Hannibal Lecter Avenue many times, and these two books shouldn’t work . . . but they do. Chalk it up to excellent writing and Cain’s ferocious sense of humor. The Portland (Ore.) setting is refreshing too.”---Stephen King
