Eve Singer is a journalist stuck on the ‘meat beat’; she and her camera man Joe chase down every recent murder to get a shot of the gory body, determined to get the best viewings and move into reporting better stories. Eve soon learns to become careful what she wishes for when she begins to get her exclusives from the killer himself, a self-gratifying exhibitionist who is wooing her with a succession of gruesome murders. But how long will it be until he gets what he finally wants; to murder Eve?
''The Beautiful Dead'' reminded me of Thomas Harris’s ''Red Dragon''; there were a lot of similarities but while Harris’s story gave me many sleepless nights, Bauer’s story I could read with ease. I did like this book and I would happily recommend it to a friend; it just lacked the tension needed to make a good book like this spectacular.
Thank you to the publishers, author and the Bookbag for my review copy. We also have a review of [[Rubbernecker by Belinda Bauer]].
