Description
A serial killer is on the loose in metro Detroit. Three female victims have been discovered in motel rooms in different suburban cities surrounding Motown. The only connection is that each body is found in Room 319, and the killer leaves the taunting message “Why 319?” on the bathroom mirror, written with the victim’s lipstick.
Detective Jefferson Chene heads up an elite squad of detectives assigned to the case. With no home life, he devotes every waking moment to catching killers. But this one is more elusive than most. With no clues and no apparent link between the victims, Chene is at a dead end. But a startling revelation busts the case wide open. He’s closing in on the murderer, but will it be before another young woman loses her life?

This is a very five star book. The plot is realistic with many twists and turns that will leave the reader flipping pages quickly. The procedures necessary for the police to track down a serial killer are complicated and full of drudgery. Jefferson Chene is a strong minded detective with a very human side that is quite endearing. These series of books are well worth reading and will not disappoint.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Why 319? This is a series book, and my first. A strong police procedurel about a serial killer. I liked it, however, there are alot of details in terms of policing protocols, etc. I do find that difficult at times because it takes from the plot. All in all a good book.

This was a taut, creative murder mystery with more twists than a hot pretzel! I loved it, especially because the plot was fresh and unique, and Love has a wonderful way with words. Highly recommended, if you're not afraid...

Can you guess the killer? This book caught me up in the mystery. I enjoyed it very much and yes a theme for me serial killer books again. I enjoyed it still. It was different from others I have read before. I like when authors can be different from the rest. This book to me was believable. To me, that is what makes them good. *This book was given to me for free at my request from Netgalley and I provided this voluntary review.*

As a metro Detroit native this book really "hit home" With the location. Sadly not all crime in the area is reported and funding isn't always allowing for a lot of wiggle room. I know the reality of how scary the area can be at times so it added to this for me. It was dark and twisty you could feel the inner demons Chene was fighting. I have already recommended this to quite a few people that love literature written in our city.
