Resumen del Editor

It's been seven years since the Seattle Strangler terrorized the city. His victims were all young, pretty, their lifeless bodies found wrapped in a home-sewn white dress. But there was one who miraculously escaped death, just before the Strangler disappeared.

Lara Church has only hazy memories of her long-ago attack. What she does have is a home in Austin, a job, and a chance at a normal life at last. Then Texas Ranger James Beck arrives on her doorstep with shattering news: The Strangler is back. And this time, he's in Austin.

He's always craved her, even as he killed the others. For so long he's been waiting to unleash the beast within. And this time, he'll prove he holds her life in his hands - right before he ends it forever....

"Best-seller Burton ( Before She Dies) delivers action-packed tension as a cold case becomes new again...a compelling romantic thriller." ( Publishers Weekly)

Unlucky Seven

It has been seven years since a young girl has turned up strangled and put in a home sewn white dress. It seems like the Seattle Strangler is following Lara Church (the victim who got away) from Seattle to Austin, what is the reason? Will the Texas Rangers be able to catch him before he tries to kill Lara again? The mystery and suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat in this book. This was a great book to listen to, if you like mystery and suspense as I do this book is for you.

In my top 10!

Definitely in my top 10 favorite books! Always keeps you guessing. The ending is just wow, crazy good!

Double Danger

Predictable and unpredictable.The story starts with a horrifying attack,taking the listener through all the clues bringing you to one predictable conclusion,but then turns it all upside down with the unexpected twist towards the end.I’ve heard this narrator before and I have to say,she’s improved.

surprise

love this book. did not see the ending coming. Think I may have found a new favorite author

The Seventh Victim

These books always keep me engrossed and not wanting to put it down!! Then add the amazing twists she adds and you have one heck of a good story!! Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!!

The Seventh Victim

Great story!!! Couldn’t stop listening! Just the right amount of suspense! Love Mary Burton books!

Forgotten horror

Laura’s lack of memory seems like both a blessing and a curse. As she gathers up the missing pieces I kept waiting for the danger to come front and center. I was really glad that Beck turned from investigating to paying closer attention on many levels.

Seventh Victim, 1st Survivor

What made the experience of listening to The Seventh Victim the most enjoyable?

Liked the story line and the hero was interesting

What other book might you compare The Seventh Victim to and why?

the In Death series by J.D. Robb
explicit story set ups and follow thru

What does Johanna Parker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She gave many scenes an excitement that was appealing.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the hero started to care for the heroine.

Any additional comments?

I thought Ms. Parker reading was just a little too fast paced. At first I found it hard to grasp what she was saying as she relayed it too fast. As the books went on I finally adjusted to her speed, but still thought she should have had a better pace.

Worth a read!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Although it was somewhat predictable, and sometimes stretched into total disbelief, it is a good read. It has all the good stuff, a Texas Ranger, a series of murders, and a German Shepard.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Seventh Victim?

About 2/3 into the book when it became apparent who the bad guys were.

Have you listened to any of Johanna Parker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Don't recall hearing her before.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Actually, it was how ALL the police treated the lone surviving victim. All the cops either treated her like a prostitute or threatened her. I don't know many police officers with the experience she gives the characters would actually ever speak to a victim or witness in that manner. It sadden me to think that people think its a common occurrence.

Any additional comments?

I prefer a heroine with a little more snark, but over-all, its a good read.
