Editorial Reviews

Barbara Parker
“I put Five Days in Summer aside only once...to make sure my doors were locked.” --Barbara Parker, New York Times Bestselling Author of Suspicion of Betrayal
Leslie Glass
“Five Days has it all—an attractive female detective, a crusty FBI profiler, and the scariest killer you’ll never want to meet.” --Leslie Glass, Author of Sleeper
Lisa Gardner
“Mesmerizing…Your heart will be pounding long after you’ve turned the final page.” --Lisa Gardner, New York Times Bestselling Author of Love You More
Melissa Parcell
Katia Lief "is off to a wonderful beginning with Five Days in Summer. Fans of Mary Higgins Clark and Lisa Gardner will definitely want to pick this one up, as the suspense and thrills permeate each page. The pacing varies from scene to scene, which gives you the illusion of being able to relax and catch your breath. But don't let down your guard! For a taut, edge-of-the seat mystery, look no further than Five Days in Summer."
Publishers Weekly
“Taut, clean storytelling.” –Publishers Weekly

    Well-crafted and mezmerising. Katia Lief has a real winner in "Five Days in Summer." Couldn't put it down. The dramatic conclusion will totally freak you out.

    Not very good.

    Basic plot was good but the writing wasnt. Felt very choppy and rushed. If you want a good serial killer book read cody mcfayden books.

    Really really good

    I really enjoy Ms. Lief's stories - very suspenseful - from the first couple pages, I'm hooked. Excellent storytelling, I've read three of her stories, and plan on getting everything that she's written. Recommending them to friends, too.

    Excellent

    I have to admit that my expectations were low when I bought a 99¿ book that was written by an author I had never heard of. But I was very pleasantly surprised - this book is well written, just the right length, and tells a compelling story. Looking forward to reading more from this author. I would recommend this book to anyone!
