With "The Devil's Closet," Stacy Dittrich has created a fascinating monster and an equally fascinating team of monster hunters. CeeCee Gallagher is a hard-nosed detective trying to track down a man who abducts and kills little girls. But, it's the big girl on his trail that the killer really wants....

 

This is no ordinary killer; he borders on the surreal. The thought that he might be living just down the street from you is disturbing.

 

This is a quick read that may appeal more to women than men due to the heavy emphasis on romantic entanglements within the monster hunting team.

 

Dittrich, a real-life police officer, provides plenty of twists and turns and non-stop action. This is her first novel, and surely not the last.
