A Mysterious Review of What Doesn't Kill Her by Max Allan Collins.
Review summary: This crime novel takes readers on an interesting ride through mostly familiar territory here. On the plus side, this isn't a typical serial killer thriller, but on the other hand it does suffer from offering up a predictable (and stereotypical) character as the culprit. The narrative is often more than a little clumsy, odd for such an accomplished author, but overall the storyline is a solid one. (Click here for text of full review.)

What Doesn't Kill Her
Max Allan Collins
Thomas & Mercer (September 2013)
Publisher synopsis: Jordan Rivera was an ordinary kid with an ordinary family. Until a vicious killer took it all away from her, sparing her and leaving her broken. The murders destroyed something inside her and she spent ten long, silent years in an institution. Catching a glimpse of a news report about another ordinary family slain, Jordan breaks her silence. Now she's out, and she molds herself — body and mind — into an instrument of justice.
While a young detective pursues the case on his own, Jordan teams up with members of her Victims Support Group, people, like her, damaged by violent crime. They have their own stories of pain, heartache, and vengeance denied. With their help, Jordan will track down the killer before he can ravage any more lives. Her own life depends on it.
