The Bride Collector

The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker

Dekker gives us FBI agent Brad Raines, on the hunt for a serial killer. Raines utilizes people from a psychiatric facility to aid the FBI in solving the case.

There were a few things I didn’t particularly like about this book: knowing who the killer is the entire time, the relationship Raines builds with a patient and the ending. But overall, I enjoyed it. It is fast paced, while lacking some of the thrill factor. I would still recommend it and plan to read more by Dekker.
