Turns out I’d been playing the bee side.

The Surgeon

Things heat up when the duo realize he’s targeting a doctor named Catherine Cordell, a past victim who believes she shot and killed him years ago.

Triptych

- Author name: Karin Slaughter
- Date published: 2006

A warning: “Triptych” by Karin Slaughter is gruesomely graphic and won’t be an enjoyable read for those without a stomach of steel. The murder mystery is about a horrific serial killer who’s targeting women all over Atlanta and the cops, once lovers and now enemies, who are attempting to track him down. Things get even more convoluted when an ex-con accidentally stumbles upon the killer’s trail, unwittingly becoming the key to the whole case.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

- Author name: Robert Louis Stevenson
- Date published: 1886

While the twist of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous novella “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is well known by most people, the original book is still well worth a read. It follows a London lawyer, John Gabriel Utterson, who is determined to investigate a possible connection between his close friend Dr. Henry Jekyll and Jekyll’s unlikely new associate, the evil Edward Hyde. The book is made all the more chilling when we realize it is, at its core, about how easily the evil inside of us can take control of our lives if we don’t keep it in check.
