The Rule of Threes by Jeffery Deaver

By Pamelascott

Special Agent Constant Marlowe is tasked with taking over the investigation of an obsessed serial killer trolling the small town of Clark Valley in the quiet-and eerie-plains of the Midwest. Two female victims in quick succession, the same brutal MO, and every indication that victim number three is only days away. Also in the killer's scope is Constant herself. When she interviews a local family who may be potential witnesses, she leads the devil to their doorstep, throwing their lives into chaos. Constant will do anything to protect them, but it won't be easy. Because nothing in Clark Valley is quite what it seems.

I've read a few of the author's book. I really enjoyed The Rule of Threes. It's a fairly short read but very well-written and an excellent thriller. Constant is a great character, weird name aside. I really liked her. I read a lot of serial killer novel's (don't judge me) and this has all the trappings of good ones. There's plenty of action, twists and turns and misdirection. I had a good time reading this. I'd recommend it.

4/5
