Abomination
Abomination by Colleen Coble.
Paperback: 336 pages
Publisher: Thomas Nelson (May 11, 2008)
ISBN-10: 159554478X
A beautiful woman stands by the side of the road, barefoot and bleeding, a child in her arms. Someone just tried to kill her, but she wouldn't recognize him if she saw his face. She doesn't even remember her own name.
A suburban cop surveys a kitchen in disarray--a woman and child missing, a chilling note. This crime scene is unlike any he has ever seen.
The man who calls himself Gideon waits and plans. He sees himself as a destroyer of evil, one who rids the world of abominations. He has already killed five. He will kill again.
And somewhere in the wilderness, in a secret geocache near where the wild swans gather, lies the unspeakable clue that links them all together.
Michigan's rugged and beautiful Upper Peninsula is the setting for this absorbing tale of love and loss, beauty and terror, grievous sins and second chances. A deftly woven thriller from the popular author of the Rock Harbor novels.
I enjoyed this book. There were a few back stories along with the search for the serial killer.
The writing was quite good and easily followed. With the woman having amnesia it gave me a feeling that any moment she would remember... I can't even imagine not remembering your whole life! There is the back story of her X-husband and why they divorced. And surprises along the way.
She hid the killer really well. I had no idea until it was obvious.
Like I said, it was a good read. I had never heard of this author before (and found out she has LOTS of books out and many happen in the same place that this one occurs, so if you like the book.. there are many more!
Onward to my next read!.................

It sounds really scary! And wouldn't it qualify for RIP?
