My Rating: 4.7
Aidan Thomas is a hard-working family man and a somewhat beloved figure in the small upstate New York town where he lives. He’s the kind of man who always lends a hand and has a good word for everyone. But Aidan has a dark secret he’s been keeping from everyone in town and those closest to him. He’s a kidnapper and serial killer. Aidan has murdered eight women and there’s a ninth he has earmarked for death: Rachel, imprisoned in a backyard shed, fearing for her life.
This is told primarily from three different women's perspectives: Rachel, Aidan's daughter Cecilia, and Emily a local woman who has a crush on Aidan. There are very mixed reviews on this one but I liked it (not loved it but a solid like). I thought the author did a fabulous job of pulling off the three different viewpoints but also communicating Aidan - with the different personas that he had around different people in the town as well as with the women. WARNING: abuse, sexual abuse and captivity.
I liked this one as well. I liked that the women were the center of the storyline and the author gave less page time to the villain and his actions.

Agree. I also found it interesting how/why she didn't escape when she had the opportunity at various times. Will definitely check out more by this author.
