A family vacation weekend becomes a race for survival against a vicious serial killer in the New York Times bestselling author's psychological thriller.
For more than two years, a serial killer held Seattle in a terror grip. After abducting young mothers right in front of their sons, he murdered them execution style. Then, as suddenly as the killings began, they seemed to stop.
Susan Blanchette is looking forward to a relaxing weekend getaway with her fiancé, Allen, and young son, Matthew. But something about the remote lake house doesn't feel right. A woman vanished from the area a year ago, and now Susan thinks she's spotted someone lurking around the property. And when Allen disappears, her fear grows . . .
A psychopath has returned, ready to strike again. Someone who can't resist the urge to kill, who derives pleasure from others' pain, and who is drawing nearer to Susan as each minute ticks by. But she's just one pawn in a killer's master plan. And once the plan Is set in motion, it cannot be stopped . . .

      Deftly woven plot twists save bestseller O'Brien's latest serial killer novel from predictability. The “Mama's Boy” killer spent two years kidnapping Seattle mothers and murdering them in front of their young sons; then he dropped off the radar for a decade. Widowed Susan Blanchette is on her way to Cullen, Wash., for an idyllic weekend with her toddler, Matthew, and her fiancé, Allen; high school students Jordan (whose mother was a “Mama's Boy” victim), Leo, and Moira are headed there as well, to celebrate Leo's birthday. When Jordan meets Allen, he thinks he recognizes his mother's killer, but if Allen is “Mama's Boy,” who just kidnapped Moira? While the pace of the novel is strong and the story intriguing, O'Brien (Final Breath
      ) tries too hard to manipulate readers with implausible character actions, over-the-top emotions, and unnecessary obfuscations.
