Editorial Reviews
Introducing Riley Spartz, a spunky, clever, and endearing investigative reporter on the trail of a serial killer targeting women named Susan, murdering one on the same day each year.

Riley Spartz, TV news reporter for Channel 3 in Minneapolis, is recovering from a heartbreaking, headline-making catastrophe of her own when a longtime police source drops two homicide files in her lap. Both cold cases involve women named Susan strangled on the same day, one year apart. Riley senses a pattern between those murders and others pulled from old death records. She must broadcast a warning soon, especially to viewers named Susan, because the deadly anniversary is fast approaching.

Good first novel

I enjoyed this frist book from Kramer, maybe because of the location. I, too, knew who the killer was half-way through the book, but continued to read to find out how Riley would figure it out. There were a couple of beginner boo-boos, but hey, everyone does it. 1. It's a Perp Walk, not a Perp Parade and 2. It would be a Coach bag, not a Coach purse. Sorry, that sort of thing jumps out at me. I would definately read another book by Kramer.

Really great read

This book grabbed me from the first chapter and never let go. Terrific sleuth, with lots of personality and a compelling backstory, and well-drawn secondary characters. Great premise. And Julie Kramer did a fantastic job portraying a TV newsroom, with its quirky characters and often skewed outlook on the world. (I know; I worked in TV news for years.) The second I finished this book, I started looking forward to the next novel from this author. Highly recommended.

Well-paced mystery with a charmingly human narrator

I love mysteries, especially those with serial killers. This book was well-paced. The premise was that women named Susan were being killed on the same date in multiple years. The characters were unique - the narrator is a TV reporter, who actually has an interesting backstory. The setting is Minnesota, which is not run-of-the-mill either.
This is a book you'll carry around with you until you've finished it - you want to keep reading. If you like mysteries where all the loose ends are tied up and explained, the characters' actions are logical but not necessarily predictable, you'll like this book.

So-so debut

In several instances, I wanted to say, what? Illogical in several instances, and the plot and denouement were predictable. Concentrate on character development and plot the next time.

Great mystery book

I ordered this book, Stalking Susan, because I read a great review in my hometown paper, Pioneer Press. also, the novelist was a TV reporter in my town and the crimes took place in our state. I loved the characters, various plots, not just one mystery story but several. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes I can't put the book down theory. I hope Julie Kramer writes another.
