The Vanishing Season by Joanna Schaffhausen
4.0
"You ever get the feeling like someone’s watching you, following you around?"
Three people have gone missing in a small town in the span of three years. Since there is no connection between the vanished, the police have investigated each case separately, never considering the existence of a serial killer in their small town.
But all changes when the severed hands of one of the victims are discovered in a garden.
Why has the killer targeted these seemingly unconnected people? Why has he taken each victim in the same month of each year? Is there going to be a fourth one?
The Vanishing Season is a well written and engaging mystery/thriller. Figuring out the identity of the killer early on didn’t lessen the suspense for me, since the ‘why’ and ‘how’ were as important as the ‘who’ in the story.
