“I’ll get out, and I’ll get even.”

Gabby St. Claire is back to crime-scene cleaning, at least temporarily. With her business partner on his honeymoon, she needs help after a weekend killing spree fills up her work docket. She quickly realizes she has bigger problems than finding temporary help.

A serial killer her fiancé, a former prosecutor, put behind bars has escaped. His last words to Riley were: I’ll get out, and I’ll get even. Pictures of Gabby are found in the man’s prison cell, and Riley fears the sadistic madman has Gabby in his sights.

Pictures of Gabby are found in the man’s prison cell, and Riley fears the sadistic madman has Gabby in his sights.

Gabby tells herself there’s no way the Scum River Killer will make it across the country from California to Virginia without being caught. But then, messages are left for Gabby at crime scenes, and someone keeps slipping in and out of her apartment.

When Gabby’s temporary assistant disappears, Gabby must figure out who’s behind these crimes. The search for answers becomes darker when Gabby realizes she’s dealing with a criminal who’s more than evil. He’s truly the scum of the earth, and he’ll do anything to make Gabby and Riley’s lives a living nightmare.

wholesome

I love that there is no bad language or uncomfortable sexual innuendos. And that it's Christian based!

Many intertwined characters

Kept me on my toes keeping all the characters straight... loved it! Also loved the deep introspection Gabby went through about the interview & the potential job in Kansas.

Funny and no foul language!

It so refreshing to hear a story without cuss words! It truly is possible to keep your Christian values and have a great story! Thank you!

Great characters, compelling storyline

I rarely find an author who keeps me coming back. I am enjoying this series. I don’t miss the vulgarity other authors resort to to make your heart pound. Christy Barritt knows how to write a horror scene.

Keeps you on guard!

Enjoyed reading an interesting book where I could not always guess the next clues. Christy Barritt has become one of my favorite Christian authors!
