The Tunnels
by
Michelle Gagnon
Magnificent
debut serial killer thriller!
Publisher: Mira
(June 2007)
Michelle Gagnon's debut thriller, The
Tunnels, is a welcome new voice. This serial killer thriller
chills the reader with an unusual motive and an ancient ritual that
unfolds with page-turning suspense. Readers may not want to read this
book alone at night. A New England college with a labyrinth of tunnels
underground, rich girls found dead --- their fathers leaders in the
world--- victims slain in a ritualistic and brutal fashion, ancient
rituals from a religion unknown except to scholars...a serial killer
whose pace is quickening...what more could a person want in a thriller?
Thriller lovers will want to grab this debut book and catch the
Michelle Gagnon ride while it is beginning.
When a college girl is found brutally and ritualistically murdered in
the tunnels below the college, FBI Special Agent Kelly Jones sees the
evidence, she knows that she has never encountered a serial killer like
the one before her now. With the body count increasing, Kelley Jones
must unravel the clues to prevent more killings. As she gets closer and
closer, the killer begins to taunt her. Can she find him in time and
will she survive their encounter?
Readers may want to read this book with the light on (not a book
light!) or get an early start in the day. Something about a shadowed
dark room, these tunnels and the kidnap scenes makes a person crave
light. Kelley Jones is a multi-dimensional character. Following the
trail of the serial killer with her as a guide is just downright
thrilling. If you like thrillers with serial killers, this is a great
choice. Even if, like me, you normally do not read serial killer
thrillers, The Tunnels might
surprise and please a reader. I certainly enjoyed this thriller much
more than most to eagerly await the next Michelle Gagnon thriller.
