Dry Sterile Thunder

Summary: a twisted story, full of puzzling plot and action
Review: It appears that there is a serial killer in a small Alabama community. The murders are horrible to begin with but the killer is leaving grotesque messages on the skin of the victims. Clues left to taunt investigators lead to the possibility of more murders, more victims and sheer panic in the air.

New District Attorney Katie O'Brien is quickly finding out that she's not sure she really wants this job. The press is in her face, the public wants answers and the cops want to make an arrest. But she knows that making arrest just to do so would be wrong, and would not be helping the public in any way. The real killer would still be out there, hunting victims, fulfilling desires and getting the media coverage over it.

Jim Accardi has woven quite a tale of murder, suspense and brain teasing. "Dry Sterile Thunder" is a twisted story, full of puzzling plot and action and promises a good read. The author has paid great attention to detail and characterization and has succeeded in writing a well-done murder mystery. There are times when he goes a little too far into minor character's backgrounds and motivations for my taste, but the positive far outweighs the negative. Look for more from this author and you won't be sorry!

Summary: Thought-provoking Page Turner!
Review: Like Accardi's previous thriller/mystery, Saigon Landing, this book will make you think AND entertain you. LiKe Saigon, it features heroine-lawyer Katie O'Brien and a supporting cast of intersting carachters. And, like Saigon, the plot twists and turns and the ending will surprise you!
About the title---I was puzzled by it when I started the book, but it will all make sense in the end.
Anothetr great book by Jim Accardi---do yourself a favor and read both thrillers!
