“Without
Warning” by David Rosenfelt
Jake Robbins, touted as a hero and who
is currently acting Chief of Police, has no idea what the opening of the town’s
time capsule is going to do to him and how it’s going to turn it life upside
down.
Katie Sanford is the editor of the local
paper in Wilton, Maine. This small town has a tradition of burying a time
capsule every fifty years. After a hurricane comes through, they fear the worst
for the soundness of the capsule and it’s decided it will be opened early to make
sure its contents are okay.
Jake, Katie, and many others are there
when the capsule is unearthed and opened. What they find is not what they
expect…well, they expect some of the items, but something else is included.
It’s a list of predictions…murderous predictions. Jake needs to figure out who
put it there, why, and what the predictions mean…and fast.
He’s able to figure out the first few,
but before anything can be done, the ‘Predictor,’ as he is called, brings about
the occurrence of the next prediction. One event after the other is supposed to
happen, victim after victim. And Jake figures out quickly that it all has
something to do with him. Unfortunately for Katie, it may be too late. She is
taken and it’s up to Jake not only to stop further murders but to also save
Katie and bring down the man responsible for all the havoc.
A tense novel, which had a grip on me that
I couldn’t shake until the last page. Quick-paced, riveting, and completely
thrilling. Rosenfelt just made one of my top faves list. Completely
recommended!
