Description

A killer’s deadly riddle. An agent’s dark secret. A twisted psychological game gone wrong…

In the affluent seaside town of Black Rock, beautiful blond women vanish, one by one.

The victims are discovered in unusual places, eyes blindfolded and heads crowned with sunflower garlands. A chilling calling card from a twisted mind who enjoys psychological games. 

With Max, her faithful police dog by her side, FBI Agent Tanya Stone is on the case. They race against time, on the hunt for a cold-blooded criminal. 

But the devious psychopath is always one step ahead, taunting the detective with a riddle sent to a true crime podcaster an hour before each murder.

Deadly lies converge and the body count rises. Tanya fights to unravel the clues and uncover the dark secrets of this town. 

She doesn’t realize the shocking truth is connected to her haunted family and her painful past. The stakes are personal as well as deadly. And the clock is ticking. 

Can Tanya and Max unmask the serial killer before the next victim dies?

Or will Tanya pay the ultimate price for her family’s tragedy, fourteen years ago?

Cat and mouse. Predator and prey. A psychopath is playing a deadly game with people's lives in Black Rock. He has no regard to human life. His calling card is to always leave a riddle.

Oh my goodness. This book sucked me into it's vortex from the beginning chapter. The action and chase/game is constant. There is no reprieve. The only question is who will be the next victim? The punches just kept coming. This twisty, jet-fueled thriller/mystery/police procedural explodes from page one and does not let up until the end. This is my first exceptional read by this author, but it will certainly not be my last. If you enjoy a menacing mystery with an unforgettable cast of characters, this book is just the ticket for you.

Thank you to Rebel Diva Academy Press and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Tikiri Herath delivers a chilling and fast-paced thriller in Her Grisly Grave, a novel that grips readers from the first page and refuses to let go. With a small town on edge as bodies start to pile up, this crime thriller weaves together suspense, mystery, and an engaging protagonist who refuses to back down.

The novel’s strength lies in its relentless pacing and well-crafted tension. As paranoia spreads and trust becomes a luxury, the story delves into the psychological aspects of crime and justice. The protagonist is compelling and resourceful, made even more endearing by the presence of her loyal canine companion, which adds a unique dynamic to the storytelling.

Herath masterfully balances action with character depth, ensuring that every twist and revelation feels both shocking and earned. The final twist is particularly well-executed, leaving readers thoroughly satisfied.

For fans of serial killer thrillers with strong, determined leads and unexpected turns, Her Grisly Grave is a must-read. Tikiri Herath once again proves her ability to craft a high-stakes, gripping mystery that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

Tanya Stone FBI K9 Mystery Thrillers #6. I'm an easy sell on a police procedural that includes a K9. Tikiri Herath's statement in the synopsis, No dog is ever harmed but the villains always are, added an extra incentive to the book. A serial killer is targeting young, blond women, leaving the victims with a sunflower crown and eyes blindfolded. With each victim, FBI Agent Tanya Stone grows more certain that she knows the killer and his motives. Stone and her team work well together to find the clues and follow them to the killer. I enjoyed the first five books in this series and this one is a winner too.
