If Looks Could Kill

By Eileen Dreyer

Book Overview

Poison Pen Bestselling author Chris Jackson is perfectly happy with her quiet life. After all, what's not to like? Her next door neighbor is an unemployed ventriloquist, her literary agent is a kleptomaniac, and her house is only six blocks from the Mobile Home Hall of Fame. If she ever needs a getaway, she's got a Harley. Then the murders start. Murders taken form the pages of her own books. Murders that threaten her sanity, maybe her very life. And she has only a burned-out ex-Chicago cop to help her . . .

Gripping tale of an author stalked by a serial killer

So far the only Dreyer book that is not based in a medical setting, it is nonetheless my favorite. The main character, a writer named Chris Jackson, is easy to relate to, both with her reclusive lifestyle and her muddy past. A murder mystery writer, the murders in her books are being reinacted in real life by a serial killer. The characters in the book are almost more enthralling than the murders, which are vividly described and hard-to-forget. The outcome of the book was a big surprise to me, which is a plus in a mystery. One of my favorite books.

Creative but Confusing

Eileen Dreyer's "If looks could kill" is a good book. It really is, but it's sort of confusing in a way. But just because its confusing to me doesn't mean it's not good. If you were to ask me is it still worth reading even though its confusing. definately. why not give it a try. The creativeness is partly what makes it so confusing to me. The characters are eccentric and .... well they are basically just eccentric. I gave this book 4 stars and i hope you agree.
