“The Bride Collector” is a deranged killer who has
murdered four beautiful young women. He kidnapped them, took them
to an isolated area, then very carefully prepared them for their
deaths by making sure they were clean and dressed only in their
underwear. He carefully applied their makeup so they were even more
beautiful than they were naturally. After that, he glued them to
a wall, arranging them in the most attractive position.
With the help of sedatives, he drilled a small hole in each of the
women’s heels to drain all the blood from their bodies. This
was his mission from God, after all: to find God’s favorites,
the seven most beautiful women in the world, and send them to God,
to be with Him. The seventh and most beautiful would be the bride
of Christ! And he already knew her, for she had rejected him seven
years ago.
Meanwhile, Special Agent Brad Raines is tearing Colorado apart,
trying to find this monster before any more women die. He has already
found four bodies and frustration. The killer never left any clues
to his identity, no hairs, fibers, bodily fluids, fingerprints,
nothing to identify him. Then there was a fifth body, but this one
had been bruised. She had fought back. But the killer’s next
victim was Brad’s partner, and it became personal.
The Bride Collector is a haunting journey into madness,
into the darkness of a psychotic breakdown, and the amazing gifts
of some mental patients that help them solve the case. The story
is riveting as the tension mounts. The mentally ill characters are
both fascinating and endearing. Do listen to The Bride Collector
and have an exciting time. You might want to try Ted Dekker’s
twenty-six other novels, too.
