Fan site for Gretchen Low­ell aka The Beauty Killer

After recently read­ing Chelsea Cain’s lat­est thriller, Evil at Heart, I never did check to see if the pub­lic­ity info inside the story sur­round­ing beau­ti­ful ser­ial killer aka “beauty killer” Gretchen Low­ell was actu­ally click­able like the IHeart­Gretchen­Low­ell web­site. OMG, the site is HILARIOUS (in a mor­bid way). I bet they had a lot of fun putting it together, too. Chelsea Cain has a great sense of humor that shows in her books. Any­way, click away or check out the site and the fun promo stuff. I didn’t see any­thing that could spoil the book for you.

On that same note, via Gal­l­ey­Cat, the model for Chelsea Cain’s Gretchen Low­ell is a local mus­cian who goes by Storm Large and you can read more here. I don’t think she veers too much away from what I think Gretchen Low­ell might actu­ally look like.

Jeff Lind­say Has A New Book Com­ing Out This Month!

I’ve read two Dex­ter books of his: Darkly, Dream­ing Dex­ter and Dearly, Devoted Dex­ter. Both books are fast reads. Both books are darkly humer­ous with an anti­hero who is a ser­ial killer whose self-appointed task is to rid Miami, Florida of the scions of the earth. Jeff Lind­say also has a fourth book com­ing out this month, Dex­ter By Design. BTW, I am skip­ping the third book in the series, Dex­ter in the Dark, since peo­ple I respect and oth­ers online say that the book went com­pletely off course (how­ever that link to B&N shows quite a few pos­i­tive reviews).

There’s also a Show­time series that is based on the books but just like the HBO series, True Blood, the tv shows share almost lit­tle to none with the books that inspired them.

The first link was found via @MomentsofCrime, a han­dle for Mino­taur Books that I fol­low on Twit­ter.

@Cathy C: I’d get them from the library. Sure price hike is due to the pop­u­lar­ity of the TV series.

I’m won­der­ing why the Dex­ter books cost so much?
