Review: Super creepy serial killer
Rating: 4 out of 5

I just finished reading The Scarlet Tessera. I am still not sure how I feel about it. Some parts of the book were great. The killer was very creepy and menacing. He remained one step ahead of the police throughout the book.  I also liked Maria, the only victim of the killer who was let go.The police, Claire and Joe, are likable characters. But they seemed a little one dimensional to me. Even though attempts were made to give them a back story and bring in their family, I still didn't connect with them. I also noticed more than once that when a new chapter would start, it seemed like the story had jumped and I had missed something.  I found myself going back to the previous chapter to try to make sense of the new one's direction.There were definitely some positives to this book. I think that Julian Lorr could develop into a great author and I look forward to reading more of his work.
