Rick C.Limpert in Alan Jacobson, Crush, Gadgets, Kindle Free Pick

Crush, by Alan Jacobson will keep your fingers turning the pages.  Or if you get it for free on the Kindle it will keep you hitting the page turn button.

In Jacobson's addictive second Karen Vail thriller (after The 7th Victim), a serial killer spoils the FBI profiler's romantic Napa Valley vacation with boyfriend Det. Robby Hernandez. During a Silver Ridge Estates winery tour, Karen and Robby stumble over the strangled and mutilated corpse of Victoria Cameron, daughter of an influential winemaker. The narcissistic psycho responsible? John Wayne Mayfield (aka the Napa Crush Killer), who taunts the Napa County Major Crimes Task Force formed to catch him. As more victims are found, their windpipes crushed and bodies inflicted with postmortem wounds, the motive behind such a killing spree appears connected to conflicts within the Georges Valley American Viticultural Area board. Jacobson jolts standard serial killer fare with some twists concerning the publicity-hungry Crush Killer and insightful peeks into California's wine industry.

When you make it to the end, you will be in the middle of a wild cliffhanger.

Those who have read a lot of Jacobson say you should read The 7th Victim first.

Give it a try.
