Publisher's summary

Ali Ryan has dreamed of being a hot shot detective that solves high profile cases. Her love for crime novels and police dramas was her inspiration to become a cop, but it was her pushy demeanor and sassy impulsive attitude that earned her the detective promotion she coveted. But is your dream job worth sacrificing the ones you love?

The fall semester for New Paltz has begun complete with a dead body turning up in the dorms. Police claim the case is open and shut, but Detective Ali Ryan doesn't think so. She throws herself into the case desperately searching for answers as the death toll on campus rises; each made to look like a suicide.

With Ali getting closer to uncovering the truth, the killer wants to make his attacks more personal. His sights are set on Detective Ryan and her sister. Police are forced to place them under their protection, but Ali is determined to hunt down the killer and stop him before he kills again. But how far is Detective Ryan willing to go to protect her sister and take down the sadistic killer?

Stupid, stupid, stupid! Terrible characters.

Stop the book cause the characters are too stupid to survive. Villain is way too lucky. Waste of my credit. Don't bother with this series.

A great read with a twist that you don't expect!

What did you love best about The Campus Killer (Detective Ali Ryan Series Book 1)?

When I first started reading the book my first thought was I really didn’t want to know who the killer is. I read through the book and was intrigued with how the killings took place and were covered up so well. I enjoyed the twist and turns the book took however I didn’t expect the turn at the end. I can’t wait for the next book to be out so I can quench my curiosity. It captured my attention from the beginning to the end and kept me wondering what will happen next. Once I started reading it, I didn’t want to put the book down, in fact I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens next. A definite must read for anyone that likes a mystery/suspense book.

Campus Killer a must read

Ali Ryan is a smart and intuitive detective. She follows her gut as she tries to catch the campus killer. I enjoyed the suspense and the twists and turns in the story. The audio book was terrific. I felt as though I was part of the story as I listened and could not stop listening. A job well done! I look forward to the next book in the series.

Awesome Read

What did you love best about The Campus Killer (Detective Ali Ryan Series Book 1)?

Author Andrew Hess captivated me from the moment I started this story. I loved how he moved between the heroine Ali Ryan’s point of view and the killers. Getting lost in both of their heads as they tried to outsmart one another was thrilling. This book is an absolute page turner as Ali Ryan chase after the killer. I could not help but gasp and hold my breath during a few of the scenes.
i also loved the narrator who read the book. She spoke with a clear voice and put a lot of action into her reading.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Campus Killer (Detective Ali Ryan Series Book 1)?

The killer did not make many mistakes as he picked off the students. But what mistakes he made is what kept Ali motivated that she was not crazy.
I am always fascinated with why people kill and think they will never get caught. More times than not there are detectives like Ali on the cases that never gives up. They think that they are smarter then the detectives but in most cases they aren't.

Have you listened to any of Bhama Roget’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have never listened to her before but i will be in the future.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It kept me on edge to find out what happens next. I love books that do that. Mr. Hess is an amazing writer and i can't wait until his next book is released.

Any additional comments?

This is a must read book!
