Please Let the Book Trump the Hook

Because I’d rather save my snark for more deserving targets, you know? And I really do suspect it is, once more, a case where two lines distill away all the best elements of the book:

TV producer Julie Kramer’s STALKING SUSAN, about a TV reporter who

follows a lead about a serial killer who targets women named “Susan”

and kills them in a distinctive manner on the same date every year, to

Stacy Creamer at Doubleday, in a two-book deal, by Elaine Koster at

Elaine Koster Agency (NA).

Of course, if I really wanted to snark, I could propose an alliteratively titled series along similar lines:

GARROTING GERTRUDE
THROTTLING THEA
STRANGLING SARAH
STABBING SHEILA
POISONING PRISCILLA
SHOOTING SCHUYLER
KILLING KARA

But I suspect that’s waaaay too obvious to sell these days…
