Great read

I got this book from Doubleday Book Club when it came out and I've read it many times since.Highly recommended! Very different.

Thoroughly Creepy

Everyone has a stereotype­­blonds are dumb, cops are doughnut-eating jerks, housewives are boring, morticians are weirdos. Well, the mortician in this book really fits the bill. Business is slow. So what does he do? He starts killing off people. The local police cannot explain the sudden rash of deaths, but burnt-out cop turned journalist Guy Driscoll is a little more tenacious. He must prove to the police that Vernon Diest is responsible for the killings before he and his daughter are the next victims. Thoroughly entertaining.

The Moons of Summer is a smooth non-stop read thriller!

S. K. Epperson employs the most natural and "its really happening" writing style I've read in a long time. The setting and characters in The Moons of Summer are focused: rivetting your attention. This mortician serial killing and cop blaming could really happen in any small town....in MY TOWN! Don't let the price fool you. The Moons of Summers IS a BEST READ book.
