I really enjoyed the suspense plot that Ms. Krall created in her latest novel, In Your Sights. The lead female in this novel is Caroline Bready who while taking photographs of the moon at night discovers the latest rape victim of the “Redback Rapist”. This draws her into this case as the police work hard to capture this serial rapist. Caroline brings a lot to the plot with the unsolved hit and run of her husband, a less than honorable affair with a married co-worker and Caroline’s very real relationship with her deceased husband’s family. I enjoyed Ms. Krall’s use of photography (classes, students and websites) to propel the plot and subplots further.
In addition to having a well thought out plot, Ms. Krall has developed great cast of characters which are very well fleshed out. My favorite character is detective McGraw, but I also really appreciated how Johnny was developed. There were numerous times when I was disappointed with Caroline herself as she was shallow and involved with a married man. But she also possessed really positive traits: she was truly in love and missed her deceased husband, loved her in-laws and grew and matured as a person through the book. The person she was at the end of the novel was much more admirable and her development worked very well as part of the story.
I like having the components of a book tied out and Ms Krall did a really good job of pulling all the pieces together in the ending. I was really pulled into this book and would recommend it to those who love suspense novels. Although part of a Triptych, this is a stand alone novel.
