When the dismembered body of a young woman is found Detectives Joe Leverette and Philip Marsden are assigned the case. After investigating the Port Huron, Michigan area where the six body parts were found there’s a twist in the case: The murderer goes after each individual who found the parts, one by one.
Leverette becomes interested in one of the women, Carole Sage, a sensitive, but because of the case he’s not able to take it any further. Everyone on the police force sees his infatuation, but Carole does not.
Each of the six witnesses has a dream about the murderer removing the particular body part they found the night. They are startled awake and hear an owl hoot three times. None of them want to reveal their dream to the detectives.
Carole sees the actual murder and each murder as it happens to the witnesses. The police chief, Billingsley, understands her ‘gift’ and sets up a sting to catch him. It fails and they have to regroup to think of something else. Two witnesses are dead and they don’t want a third to die.
This books is for 18+ due to the violence.
MY REVIEW:
MIDNIGHT OWL IS BOOK 1 IN THE JOE LEVERETTE MYSTERY BOOK SERIES. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK BY VIV DREWA I HAVE READ AND I AM SO GLAD I DID. WOW WHAT A REALISTIC SUSPENSEFUL, MURDER MYSTERY. THE CHARACTERS ARE SO BELIEVABLE AND REAL AND ENJOYABLE. THE BOOK OPENS IMMEDIATELY WITH A MURDER. THE MURDER LEADS THE DETECTIVES ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE BY LEAVING BODY PARTS AT DIFFERENT AREAS AND THEN GOES AFTER THE WITNESSES. VIV DREWA'S DRAWS YOU INTO THE STORY AND THE CHARACTERS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING UNTIL THE VERY END. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT AND SHE LEAVES YOU WITH A CLIFF HANGER AT THE VERY END. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS SERIES. YOU WILL NOT REGRET. IF YOU ARE A BIG FAN OF SUSPENSE, AND MURDER MYSTERIES THIS IS THE SERIES FOR YOU. THIS BOOK WILL HAVE YOU JUMP WHEN YOU HEAR THE HOOT OF AN OWL. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. 5 STARS
