For fans of Harlan Coben and “Mindhunter,” Sam Holland’s chilling debut draws inspiration from infamous serial killer cases, culminating in the ultimate, heart-pounding copycat tale. Detectives Cara Elliott and Noah Deakin are on the case of a series of seemingly unconnected murders, each different in method, but each shocking and brutal. As the body count increases, they can’t ignore the details that echo famous cases of the past—Manson, Kemper, Dahmer, and more. As Elliott and Deakin get closer to unmasking the killer, the murders are moving closer to home. Meanwhile, Jessica Ambrose is on the run. She’s been implicated as the arsonist who killed her neglectful husband and injured her young daughter. With the help of disgraced and suspended detective Nate Griffin, Jess discovers a shocking link between her case and that of the ultimate copycat killer working on his horrifying masterpiece.

Well OK! I think I may need to decompress after listening to this one...whew!
Before anything else ... I feel like it has to be said that this should be read and/or listened to with extreme caution. This isn't a normal serial killer thriller. This is that x1000. There is just about every trigger you can possibly think of...I don't want to say more or it will give some of the mystery away. Just be prepared if you choose to dive into this one.
That being said .. this is what I LOVE about police procedurals and serial killers. I also loved the unique premise into why this is called The Echo Man. I haven't read one like this before. This is DARK and INTENSE and had me open-mouthed and cringing...a lot. I need some Hot Cocoa and a lot of hugs now
