Genre: Psychological Thriller

Synopsis

MONSTERS Doyle Godwin works nights as a Private Investigator in the small town of Gabriel’s Horn. He has learned how to hide his twisted, giant frame in the dark, avoiding the cruel eyes and taunts of the locals as he ekes out a living tracking down adulterers and other night-dwellers, living vicariously through the images he captures on camera. Lurking in the shadows, he is content with his world until, one day, the only woman he ever loved walks into his office and hires him to find her missing daughter. Emmy Watson is losing hope. After three long weeks, her daughter Scarlett remains missing and the FBI have slowly removed themselves from the search, leaving an impotent Sheriff’s department no closer to solving the kidnapping. Her heart broken and her nerves frayed to their ends she hires Doyle, Sheriff Reid’s main suspect, forcing the town’s Boogieman out into the daylight. Sheriff Emerson Watts has discovered a body beneath Mt Rainier’s watchful gaze. An ex-FBI agent with a once bright future, he sifts through the detritus of the murder scene and realizes there might be a connection between his case and the missing girl in Gabriel’s Horn. Trying to meet with Sheriff Reid, he instead bumps into the deformed detective and triggers an avalanche which threatens to swallow them all up. MONSTERS is a dark, complex, character driven psychological thriller.

The synopsis sure is mysterious and I’m very curious what the story is all about. Can’t wait to meet these characters.

I added this book back in July of 2017 and I own a copy. I’ve now added it to my current reading list and hope to get to it soon.

    This sounds good, Laura, but I totally understand having TONS of great sounding books languishing on the shelves. 😉

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I have so many and now I have less time for reading as I’ve got two jobs! My goal is to get to some of my older books. They are calling out to me. LOL

    Ooooh, that sounds fantastic. I can see why you want to bump it up to a current read.
