I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. Now this is the type of story I have been wanting to read for a long time! I was immediately hooked during the first page and read it in one setting! I couldn't put it down. I will keep this short and sweet so I don't give any spoilers away, but do yourself a favor and read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!! Breathtaking Murder Mystery!, January 18, 2015

This intense detective story takes a different turn from the majority of murder mysteries. The first character we meet is a serial killer as he plans his first murder. With his POV and that of the lead detective, Ali, we have a front row seat in the mental machinations of Mark and the inquiring mind of Ali as she tries to fit the clues together.
The pace was fast moving, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. As the story nears the end, drama increases tenfold with twists and turns in a breathless manner. The last chapter has a bomb blast that was unexpected but is understandable in hindsight. Ends like a Hitchcock movie. Excellent plot and development of characters; mystery and suspense unpredictable and engaging. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. Five Stars.

Campus Killer by Andrew Hess
I love reading different genres of books but very rarely do I read a good crime mystery, until now.
Campus Killer is absolutely brilliant. Set around a college campus where nothing bad has ever happened, when suddenly there is a spate of suicides.
Detective Ali investigating the apparent suicides, has a feeling that not all is right and there is more to these people dying.
This is a very intense story, I like how you read from the killers POV you kind of get why the killer is doing what the killer is doing but not the actual reason that's behind murdering these people.
Detective Ali is a hotshot cop promoted to Detective although still quite young, she is a very strong character and won't take any crap.
While reading this book I just couldn't help but feel it should be a movie or tv program it would be amazing. It reminded me of watching CSI or NCIS. It kept me on the edge of my seat and had me shouting at some of the scenes in the book.
Best of all is there is a great big twist and you never see it coming not even a hint of it.
I'm so excited for the next part as the ending is one bloody great big cliffhanger.
Most definitely worth a big 5*****

This had elements of romance in it, but the primary focus was the suspense, which was well done. Mr. Hess has pulled together a chilling story of revenge from the madman's perspective and his final descent into lunacy. Told in multiple POVs, in first person from the detective as she unravels the clues, and third person from the killer as well as various other characters, it is a risky writing style, but done effectively. In fact, Mr. Hess is as effective with this technique as some of the bigger names in the genre.
This was an enjoyable read, and lovely departure from my norm. There were a few typos/editing mistakes that could have been improved upon, but they didn't detract too much from the story, in my opinion.
