September Book Choices!

Linda's hosting the September meeting! Here are her 3 choices. Vote for the one that sounds the best, or in this case, the most frightening!

Through the Window by Diane Fanning

Ten-year-old Krystal Surles watched in horror as her best friend was murdered at the hands of an intruder. Then with cold-blooded precision he brought a twelve-inch boning knife to Krystal's throat. With a single, violent slash, he severed her windpipe and left her for dead. Miraculously, she survived and would lead authorities to the arrest of 35-year-old Tommy Lynn Sells, a former truck driver, carnival worker, and cross-country drifter....He aspired to become "The Worst Serial Killer Of All Time." With no apparent motive and no common pattern to his inconceivable bloodshed, the elusive Sells had carved his way across the country for two decades slaughtering women, men, transients, entire families, teenagers, and even infants with ghoulish abandon.

They were the lucky ones. Instead, he hunted down innocent victims - men, women, teenage beauties - and unleashed his bloody urge to kill...to rape...to paint in blood. A murderer's boast: Finally, with the courageous testimony of a survivor, and high-tech CSI, Shaw was put behind bars for life. But the gruesome tale didn't end there, as Shaw bragged about a dozen more murders he had never been charged with...
