Challenge Corner discussion

An unlikely pair teams up to investigate a brutal murder in a haunting thriller that walks the line between reality and impossibility.

When small-town police officers discover the grave of a young boy, they're quick to pin the crime on a convicted felon who lives nearby. But when it comes to murder, Officer Susan Marlan never trusts a simple explanation, so she's just getting started.

Meanwhile, college professor Eric Evans hallucinates a young boy in overalls: a symptom of his schizophrenia - or so he thinks. But when more bodies turn up, Eric has more visions, and they mirror details of the murder case. As the investigation continues, the police stick with their original conclusion, but Susan's instincts tell her something is off. The higher-ups keep stonewalling her, and the FBI's closing in.

Desperate for answers, Susan goes rogue and turns to Eric for help. Together they take an unorthodox approach to the case as the evidence keeps getting stranger. With Eric's hallucinations intensifying and the body count rising, can the pair separate truth from illusion long enough to catch a monster?

Currently "no copies available" so we'll see.

I have the book and will join this buddy read.

Great!

Chapters 1-10

Eric(view spoiler)[ must be awful to have something like schizophrenia. Being a college professor, he obviously is very smart. I only had the audio at first and was confusing him and Derek. (hide spoiler)]

Mary (view spoiler)[rather shocked me by confessing murdering her husband! How terrible to know your husband molested your child and then that child became a molester too. Ugh (hide spoiler)]

Finished
I can't imagine being someone like Susan and (view spoiler)[ doing an investigation with someone like Eric. Quite the unusual team! (hide spoiler)]

Gerald Nichol (view spoiler)[was the obvious place to look to begin with, so I see why Susan considered him. What a creep! (hide spoiler)]
