A Killer’s Grace
by Ronald Chapman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
From
the high desert
of New Mexico
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Review:
This book is written very well, is a realistic and deep history that makes you think.
A letter from a serial killer will open the mind of the protagonist of this story but also that of the reader.
A few days ago I have read another book by this author of a completely different genre but is very similar in style of writing. He's able to describe in detail and wonderfully well the places that really seems to be there, in the desert landscapes of New Mexico. And his stories always leave a message, he always manages to engage at a deeper level the reader.
Highly recommended for those who want to read a novel full of suspense but very different from the usual

EXCERPT:
“You were up even earlier than usual, Cito,” she whispered
with the Spanish lilt so common to New Mexican Hispanics. “The nightmare
again?” she asked.
The irony of the nickname was not lost on him. Kevincito,
Cito for short. Little Kevin. Pitcairn shook his head in response. “No, it was
the letter. My instincts tell me to check
it out. It’s a great story but I don’t really know what
Davidson wants. And for reasons I can’t explain, I’m reticent.”
Maria Elena’s eyes blazed in response. “Why are you
interested in that bastard at all? He deserves what he’s going to get!” To
emphasize the point, she mimicked his impending execution with a full body
spasm simulating the electricity coursing through him. Her glare locked onto
his eyes before she spun on her heels to flip the eggs and stir the carne
adovada.
Her infrequent bouts of steeliness always threw him off
balance. He had learned to use the instant of quiet that followed to think
before proceeding, and to swallow his tendency to react. It was simply a part
of her capricious emotions.
“Emmy,” he began with her nickname, a playful variation on
her initials, “if what Davidson writes is true, he’s not an evil man. And
that’s a story that needs to be told.”
