Chalk Valley grips the reader from the opening page. The book is filled with action and suspense, moves quickly, and concludes with a satisfying ending. The author has clearly done his work in researching his field - it shows in his writing. His characters are all flawed, believable and well developed. The story is told from several points of view, which gives the reader a better insight into the horror, the struggles, and the desperation. The author also exposes the frustration of the officials : even when they are certain they have their guy, they are hampered by legal red-tape, which gives the killer the freedom to continue his rampage. Excellent thriller. I would read more by this author.Disclaimer: I read a review copy and found a number of errors, which may be due to having received a pre-edited version. For this reason, I gave 4 stars, otherwise I would give 5 stars for the story and the content.
