What goes better with the start of the summer season than a great thriller? Bring them to the beach, or pack them for a week at the lake house, thrillers and suspense novels provide the perfect summer escape. They have the power to captivate a reader and give them a thrill, all at a safe distance. Suburban murders, illicit affairs, and hard boiled detectives-we’ll be talking about all of these and more throughout the month.
Beginning with an adaptation of a classic character, this week we’re talking about a creepy killer procedural, with 1997’s Kiss The Girls. Forensic psychologist Alex Cross can solve any case he puts his mind to, even if it involves family. Called to North Carolina when his niece is abducted, Cross finds himself playing a game of cat and mouse with a-surprise, surprise-deranged psychopath. 90’s icon Ashley Judd teams up with Morgan Freeman in this adaptation of one of the biggest names in the business, James Patterson.
