SHIVER

A serial killer is on the loose in New Orleans. Carefully selected yin and yang victims are killed in pairs, each crime made to look like a murder/suicide. Abby Chastain's ex-husband is the first victim, and the only lead seems to have something to do with her mother's death at a mental hospital twenty years earlier. Streetwise Detective Reuben Montoya continues to dig for clues while the bodies stack up. Joyce Bean is at her best, narrating the story with flair and conviction. Never reaching too far for a male voice nor overdramatizing the building tension, Bean provides just the right balance for this exciting thriller.
