Book Review: Killer Summer by Ridley Pearson - Page 2

The action is tense and by the end of the book the reader finds him or herself really pulling for Fleming to not only to solve the crime but save his nephew and to patch up his relationship with his father as well. It was easy to identify with Fleming and feel the emotional pain that he was dealing with. Pearson obviously has thought through Fleming's backstory and uses that to flesh out his character throughout the book. Each one of Pearson’s characters is vivid and thoroughly believable.

Pearson also draws heavily on his own knowledge of Idaho, providing vivid descriptions of the area including the terrain which plays a key part in the plot.

Readers who are fans of crime thrillers will not be disappointed with this book. I found it fascinating and was thoroughly surprised by the twists in the plot. Killer Summer makes for a thoroughly satisfying summer read.
