Dakota is reliable and sticks to a routine. So when she doesn’t turn up to work, the police are dispatched to her home for a welfare check and find her dead. The cause of death appears to be electrocution from a stun gun but who could have access and use such a weapon?
Eyes Tight Shut is the 22nd book in the Kane and Alton crime thriller series.
Another killer is on the loose in Black Rock Falls. Single women are being targeted and then attacked in their homes. The method of death has the police stumped and the number of bodies is starting to grow. Clues seem to suggest that someone the team know could be linked to the deaths but this is unthinkable! Meanwhile another main character vanishes quite early on…
We witness the police investigation as well as chilling interactions between the killer and victims. The action and drama are as unrelenting as encountered in the rest of the series. However, I do think the dynamic has changed over the series of books as Kane and Alton have settled down and become parents.
The forensic detail is as bold as ever and the descriptions may be upsetting to some. As usual, they are handled with dignity and respect as well as a determination to find the truth, catch the killer and protect others,
Eyes Tight Shut is an intense addition to this well established and gripping series.
Her heart races as she waits for her date to arrive. When the doorbell rings, her excitement quickly turns to fear when she takes in her date’s menacing stare as he closes the door behind him. He’s not here to find love, and there’s no time to scream before her world goes black…
When Dakota Slade fails to turn up to work at the general store, Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane visit her home in Black Rock Falls. TV still blaring, Dakota’s lifeless body is draped across the battered old sofa, her dark hair hanging over her delicate face, her young life taken too soon. With a shuddering breath, Jenna notices two small scorch marks on the back of the victim’s neck. Dakota has been electrocuted.
Leaping into action, Jenna traces Dakota’s last steps but quickly hits a wall. Dakota went to church every week, helped at local charities, and she was loved by those around her. Why would anyone want to harm her?
Then another young woman is found dead in her living room, the same two burn marks on her neck. Jenna’s heart shatters. Convinced a twisted killer is preying on women who live alone, she fears another innocent soul will be taken soon.
A breakthrough comes when Jenna uncovers rumors of a sleazy customer who visited both victims at work. Watching CCTV footage, her pulse pounds as she looks at the screen. The man in the film is someone close to her, someone she thought she could trust. Can Jenna take down the killer if it’s someone she loves? And will she catch him in time to stop another vulnerable young woman being murdered?
Truly gripping and completely jaw-dropping, fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot will not be able to put down this addictive crime thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D.K. Hood.
