Title: Run For Your Life
What if the most dangerous thing you did this weekend was go for a run?
***
On a bright spring Saturday, hundreds gather in a park as usual for their weekly community 5k run.
An hour later, one of the runners is dead.
The next week a runner training for a 10k event dies. And then another, a half marathon runner…
The police are baffled. The pattern is the same, the deaths can’t be coincidental. Is there a murderer picking off victims one race at a time?
Ten million adults are regular or occasional runners.
Ten million potential victims.
With the next event just announced, as you reach the start line you might just have to run for your life…
Jackie Kabler always writes such addictive psychological thrillers and this one really had me stumped.
There is an increasing number of runners being killed all by different methods but with a calling card, and striking fear into the running community. But the killer is clever and leaving no trace of themselves on the victims.
Not only that they are all based in different parts of the country meaning multiple police forces combining together to try to figure this out. All the victims appear to have nothing in common too.
But yet there are occasional chapters from someone that is hinting they know what is going on, but doesn't seem any benefit to telling the police. We also have chapters from the killer's point of view, as well as few other people too - which made it even harder as a reader to try to pull the pieces together.
It was an enthralling read, what might make you think about running alone even during the daytime, and definitely makes you think twice about accepting a drink from a well meaning "supporter".
I loved seeing how the police team approached this, even if it did feel like they were going around in circles at times. They were dogged chasing up every single minor looking lead just in case.
I was gripped by this story and totally shocked by the outcome. Another fabulous book from this author.
Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
