ButterscotchCherrie wrote: 05 Jun 2019, 01:33 I was most intrigued by the title and cover picture. Like others, I didn't expect a thriller on the basis of those! You make this book sound very interesting. I sometimes find stories where the protagonist gets into one fix after another without being able to catch a break exhausting, though.
It wasn't a long book, just over 200 pages, and they flew by rapidly. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by and reading my review!

Kirsten seems to be a strong woman, and I'm curious to know how things turn out now that serial killers are targeting her family and her life is about to change forever. I really enjoyed reading you review. Thank you for this wonderful review!

It is great seeing a book written about a bodness, love , and determination.

Second, it will be wonderful to see how well developed the character of the psychiatrist, Kristen Leone, in the book.

Lastly, thank for the informative review.
Books are lovely.

The title of the book almost made me have a different thought about the book until when I read your review. What else can a read ask for after having such an action-packed and fast-paced book! Great review.

Kirsten, the main character, said those were words she kept hearing in her dreams but wasn't sure what they meant. I really loved the book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for stopping by!

The storyline of this book sounds really interesting. This is a book I'll definitely read. I can't wait to know whether Kristen was successful in catching the killer and saving her family. I just can't figure out the relationship between elephants and this tale. So, thanks very much for your enticing review.

I haven't seen any thrillers that have caught my attention since I read The Silence of the Lambs but this one did. I'll be sure to check it out.

Quite thrilling story in the book "Elephants and Chopping Blocks Retain Their Natural Color" by J. Hawki, which is of Kirsten Leone, a forensic psychiatrist who goes to her parent's home for some love and support after leaving her abusive husband, and on the way encounters a serial killer and later contacted by the FBI.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
