The Nothing Man

Let me tell you that The Nothing Man is nothing short of amazing. Wow, what a captivating story this was from start to finish. Catherine Ryan Howard hit this one out of the park as far as I'm concerned.
Eve Black, 12 yrs old, was the only member of her family to survive a vicious attack made by a man that they dubbed, The Nothing Man, due to the fact that he has never left any evidence behind at the crime scenes.
He has still never been captured.
Twenty years later and Eve has decided to put pen to paper and write about her experience in a new tell all book. She is hoping the book will capture The Nothing Man's attention and will bring the monster into the light.
Jim Doyle is a supermarket security guard that feels his life is a bitter disappointment, unhappily married, and counting down his days. One day he stops in the book section to find a display of a book titled The Nothing Man. He can't believe his eyes. He can already feel his world closing in on him and he must put a stop to it because HE is The Nothing Man and this is HIS story to tell.
I. Was. Hooked. On. Every. Word. I love the way the author told the story alternating between chapters from Jim's p.o.v and then would switch to Eve's book as Jim was reading along. Clever, suspenseful, and wholly satisfying. This is one book that is not to be missed! 5 stars!

Thanks, Suzy! 💗 This really is one not to be missed. Because your reading a "true crime" book within a book it really gave it that 48 hrs mystery vibe or any of those murder mystery shows.
