Ten Days Gone by Beverly Long

They know exactly when he’ll strike… They just have to find him first.

In all their years working for the Baywood police department, detectives A.L. McKittridge and Rena Morgan have never seen anything like it. Four women dead in forty days, each killed ten days apart. With nothing connecting the victims and very little evidence, the clock is already counting down to when the next body drops. A.L. and Rena will have to act fast if they’re going to find the killer’s next victim before he does.

But identifying the killer’s next likely target is only half the battle. With pressure pushing in from all sides, a promising breakthrough leads the detectives to Tess Lyons, a woman whose past trauma has left her too damaged to appreciate the danger she’s in. Unwilling to let another woman die, A.L. and Rena will put everything on the line to keep Tess safe and end the killer’s deadly spree once and for all—before time runs out again.

This book was very procedural in its style. And while it was well written, it didn’t necessarily grab me from the beginning like some mystery and thriller books do.

I found that this book was very intense. You are counting down the days with the detectives and you can’t help but feel a little helpless when they are just running around in circles.

The characters are well rounded and you get to see a glimpse into their personal lives too, which I appreciated. I found that it helped me connect with them.

I think that the mystery was well done and while you kind of knew who it was going to be, finding out whether or not you put together the clues correctly was a fun puzzle.

My main issues with the story were that at times, because of the complexity of the mystery, the storyline felt jumbled. Also, unfortunately, I can’t stand the main character’s name. I found it distracting and somewhat annoying. However, overall, I really enjoyed the story and can’t wait to see what happens next.
