FIVE STAR REVIEW

Fatal Chapters kept me turning the pages trying to figure out who the killer was. Ruth Douthitt created a suspenseful tale that kept me on the edge of my seat as I tried to guess what the murderer would do next.
I quickly cared about both Emma and Liam as they faced the dangerous serial killer who used Emma's books as his blueprint for murder. Douthitt created a great resolution that will satisfy suspense readers!
