A child's doll that is possessed by a serial killer and comes to life and kills. Good story. Kind of made me a little afraid of kids dolls

Another saw really
Just another serial killer movie in the series. Some cool death scenes but that is it. storyline has the same type outcomes as first installments of series.
  
A skeleton that Luanne found two years ago becomes part of a current case as Luanne and the sheriff's department start looking for a serial killer that preys on women. Not a serial killer book but a good procedural mystery with characters I enjoy and writing so vivid it puts you there.

Air Force wife Ellie is tracking down another killer in her husband's squadron. Her friend has just committed suicide, but Ellie knows that she was too happy to do it. So what really happened? I had a hard time keeping all the characters straight, which got very frustrating. The story was interesting, however.

"There’s something so twisted and sick — that man is sitting there on that train and he just looks so banal and smiling, and he is a killer. It’s really a crazy movie."

Presley Parker's latest party is a wine tasting in the beautiful Napa Valley. But murder follows her when a despised environmental crusader is found murdered after the party. Convinced the cops have the wrong killer, she starts investigating. I find these books fun. The plot was a bit uneven, but overall an enjoyable read.

Doomsday Killer
Another very good series of Dexter, although for me the least interesting main plot so far. Dexter is tracking another serial killer reenacting scenes from the bible to bring about the end of the world. Colin Hanks guess stars this time round. Still very good but not as exciting as the last 3 series and some twists I didn't think worked.. But a great finale!

Classy Thriller
A very good cat and mouse thriller as an ex-cop teams up with a rookie to investigate crime scenes to track down a serial killer.
