The Bride Collector (Book Review)

The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker



How will they escape, how will the untangle the web of truth and fantasy, and can they stop the killer before it is too late? Those are the questions FBI agent Brad Raines struggles with while hunting down the Denver serial killer, nick-named "the Bride Collector." Each young women killed is left with a veil covering their faces. To help him stop the killer, Brad requires the help from an unlikely source, Paradise.

Paradise is a resident of the Center of Wellness and Intelligence, a private psychiatric institution for the mentally ill with extraordinary gifts. She has the gift of being able to see the last few moments of a person's life before they died when she touches the body. With seven died women as the goal for the serial killer, Paradise does not know if she has it within her to help Brad stop the killings.

With Paradise's help Brad begins to see the world in a different light and is able to stop the killer, but not before sacrifices and pain.

This is one of the most riveting stories I have read. Dekker creates a world of suspense and believable characters. Each character is well developed and captivating. Through the entire book Dekker twists a story of danger, intrigue, and personal growth. In the end characters have learned from their experiences and there is an end to the chaos.
