Granite Harbor is a thriller/horror story that takes place in a small town in Maine. I don’t read very much Stephen King, but from what I have read there are some similar vibes. The book is multi POV, and follows how a serial killer became the way he is while the local detective tries to figure out his identity and stop him from killing again. Three young men are the targets from early on, and while the reader knows this the characters do not. Not surprisingly, the FBI comes in and connects the murder with one that happened 16 years ago. Alex, the detective, starts off respecting the skills and resources of the agent, but quickly comes to the conclusion that the Fed just wants the killer to be a simple open and shut case. Alex’s concerns are justified when someone is accused but another of the young men disappears and it can’t be the Fed’s man. There are some pretty graphic scenes in the story and I had to skip those parts. Those parts withstanding, it was a good cat-and-mouse thriller where I had figured out who the murderer was and I was waiting for the characters to catch up.
