\u201cEver hear the dead knocking?\u201d<\/p>\n

Novelist Darell Brooke lived for his title as King of Suspense\u2014until an auto accident left him unable to concentrate. Two years later, reclusive and bitter, he wants one thing: to plot a new novel and regain his reputation.<\/p>\n

Kaitlan Sering, his twenty-two-year-old granddaughter, once lived for drugs. After she stole from Darell, he cut her off. Now she\u2019s rebuilding her life. But in Kaitlan\u2019s town two women have been murdered, and she is about to discover a third. She\u2019s even more shocked to realize the culprit is her boyfriend, Craig, the police chief\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

Desperate, Kaitlan flees to her estranged grandfather. For over forty years, Darell Brooke has lived suspense. Surely he\u2019ll devise a plan to trap the cunning Craig.<\/p>\n

But can Darell\u2019s muddled mind do it? And\u2014if he tries\u2014with what motivation? For Kaitlan\u2019s plight may be the stunning answer to the elusive plot he seeks . . . <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This book was riveting, and as usual of Collins’ style, the main character finds a dead body at the beginning of the story. When Kaitlan sees the dead woman on her bed, she immediately suspects her boyfriend Craig of the murder. She runs to her convalescing grandfather Darell, begging for his help. Kaitlan is shocked when Darell suggests she return to her home and to her murderous boyfriend. When Craig turns abusive, Kaitlan fears for her life, and wonders about her grandfather’s advice. When Craig takes her car keys and cell phone, making it hard for her to leave her secluded apartment, Kaitlin wonders if Craig is planning to kill her next.<\/p>\n

Kaitlin calls upon God to help her through this ordeal, and Darell and his housekeeper assist Kaitlin with her recent plight.<\/p>\n

I thought this book was riveting, and depending on how fast you read, you can finish the book quickly as each scene leads into the next. This is an intriguing novel and is definitely a page-turner. <\/p>\n
