Crime Drama

ALFIE & THE DEAD GIRLS by Jamie Stewart is a great crime drama about a schoolgirl being stalked, after a dead girl has recently been found, and her father confronting the monster. The storyline moves back and forth between the attack on Emma and her father's court appearance. Well-written, with terrifying suspense.

However, the ending is very abrupt, and I feel nothing is resolved for the family or the community. Maybe the author thinks the uncertainty is more realistic, but I don't like elements (such as Katelyn and Alfie), introduced as significant details, only to be discarded so flippantly at the end.

As always,
