Mystery

Bride Collector
Ted Dekker

Brad Raines is a special agent with the FBI and he has just been called out to another horrific crime scene. But this one is not the first, it seems as though the serial killer known as the "Bride Collector" has claimed his fourth victim. None of the women have anything in common except the way they were killed, each was tranquilized with manicures and make up done, and then had their blood drained through their feet. No leads no DNA, nothing. That is until the forensic examiner discovers a small role of paper hidden on the body, this is the first communication from the killer. Now Brad must try to solve the Bride Collector's riddles in order to save the "favorites". But the Rainman better watch out because the Bride Collector is much smarter than they think and he has a plan that could really hit home with the Special Agent.

This is a really good murder mystery without too much blood and gore. There is even a little bit of a romance angle played in here as well. I have read this book twice and each time I read this I am amazed by Ted Dekker's work, he is a great author. My favorite part is when Paradise stands up to the Bone Collector when he threatens Brad. I would recommend this book to teens and parents who do not want their kids reading to much with blood and gore.
