Seven years ago the Seattle Strangler killed six woman
and left another for dead. Lara Church survived the attack, but has no memories
of her attacker or why she was chosen. After leaving the hospital, she left
Seattle and went into hiding, moving around and keeping herself under the radar
to keep from being THE SEVENTH VICTIM.
When Lara is left her family home in Austin after her
grandmother’s death, she decides it has been long enough and begins putting
down roots. As she begins to relax and
live her life, the Strangler returns – this time in Austin.
Mary Burton is a talented author who has woven a tale
that will make readers hearts race, eyes water and leave them wanting
more. Ms Burton knows how to evoke an
emotional response, her characters are full dimensional people, not just words
on paper. Lara is an amazing woman who
has overcome so much, and she will make readers keep turning the pages as her
tale unfolds. When she meets Texas
Ranger James Beck, heart strings begin tugging and readers root for her to
finally be able to have a normal life.
Her friends put together the pieces of her life and make her a character
to love and cherish.
THE SEVENTH VICTIM is filled with landscape, the houses,
the pictures Lara takes come off the pages and make readers feel like they are
standing beside the highway waiting as Lara puts developing chemicals on her
glass to use her old fashioned camera.
You could feel the heat coming from the asphalt as though you were
there.
Ms Burton is an author to follow – her next book is due
out in the fall of 2013, and you can bet this reader will be waiting
impatiently.
