Review
I was hired to provide post-publication proofreading for this book. The only aspects of the story that I influenced were the spelling and grammar. If you feel that my connection with the book makes my review untrustworthy, so be it, but this is my honest review.
This book picks up the story a few months after The Hideaway left off, and adds a new twisted psychopath to the mix. I think this is the first Mary Theriot psychopath that prefers to do his work on the road, which was a nice change of pace. Of course it didn't last long once he hooked up with The Hunter, but changing to a stationary base of operations made perfect sense for the story.
Unlike most of the murder mysteries by Ms. Theriot that I have read, the big mystery in this book was not who is killing these people, but where are they headed and why. Once The Hunter was set free from jail and Jordan started getting gifts in the mail, they knew he was involved, but they couldn't figure out where he was heading, which made it a bit hard to catch him. But because the story was told in multiple POV's, there wasn't a whole lot of mystery for me on where they were going, so it was a bit more of a murder story than a mystery really.
And boy was there murder. Considering all the different tortures that Ms. Theriot describes in her novels, I never want to get on her bad side. They are gory and sound quite painful, and I think this book was the most twisted one I've read from her yet. If you're not a fan of detailed torture, you'll want to pass on this book.
Overall I give The Traveler 4 out of 5 stars because even though it didn't keep me guessing, it kept me thoroughly grossed out, and that's almost as good. - Katie
