Writers Inspiring Change feature review: I LUV YOU: A Jeanne de Leon novel

Updated: Jan 27, 2023


CHILLING!!!


I LUV U, by H. Berkeley Rourke, a crime thriller, is the kind of story that gives one the chills. A serial killer is moving state to state, killing women, mostly younger woman, a repeating routine, merciless, senseless and chilling to read, because he takes satisfaction in not only watching them die, but feeling the life ebb away.


Jeanne De Leon, the investigator on the case, is passionate about stopping the man before he kills again, but each clue and each time they think they are close, the maniacal yet intelligent killer sends more women to their graves. There is plenty of police Sherlocking that goes on in tandem with the Feds as they realize they are dealing with a national problem, one that is leaving a trail of dead bodies wherever he goes.


The ending is a bizarre twist, completely unpredicted and unseen in advance.


It’s a well-written crime novel, and the author’s background in the legal arena shines through in the narrative. Buckle down for some lucid imagery and unnerving scenes – and keep the lights on.”
