A Deeper Cut

by Sheri Wren Haymore

Overview

When Hunter Kittrell and his beautiful friend, Miki, arrive in Beaufort, NC, for their summer stay, they decide to liven up the small town by pulling a harmless prank. That "harmless prank," however, quickly finds them deeply entangled in a blood bath face-off with a knife-wielding serial killer.

As the usually peaceful town is drawn into chaos, Hunter and Miki find themselves pulled more deeply into the investigation, and it turns out their connections to the murders may not be as tenuous as they seemed at first. As the investigation continues, burning questions bubble to the surface: Why is Hunter being framed for the murder? And why are there mentions of his long-lost father popping up all over town?

Everything comes crashing down to a startling conclusion on Hunter's 21st birthday, when he's finally forced to confront the truths he's been running from all his life.

A killer terrorizes Beaufort, N.C., in Haymore’s uneven debut. For spring break, college student Hunter Kittrell and his girlfriend, Miki Stone, visit Beaufort, Hunter’s hometown, where they stay with his grandmother (“Granny Jen”). Meanwhile, a killer calling himself “The Cat” has plans for Hunter. The first murder on a moored yacht brings police chief Grayson Tucker on the job. A second murder quickly follows, and then a third. Handsome yacht owner Jack Franklin not only tries to lure Miki away from Hunter but is also eager to see Hunter implicated in the killings. Tucker thinks it’s possible that Hunter’s long-gone father, Rob Kittrell, may have returned to kill, and a report from the Feds indicates Rob may be in the area. Hunter’s conflict with Franklin, his relationship with Miki and with long-time friend Amy Goodwin, and his ambivalent feelings about his father deepen his character, but the loose plot and unrealistic police work weaken the action.
