Now Aaron has been brutally murdered, his body mutilated with 73 knife wounds. In small-town Pinto River, rumors abound and spread like wildfire. First there is total disbelief that this could happen. Then the community is sure that a psychotic serial killer is on the loose. But Jeremy has kept one small fact from the police: Aaron told him that he was afraid of his twin brother, Nathan. Springer captures feelings of fear, grief, anger, and revenge. Her direct, simple vocabulary and sentence constructions contribute to an accessible book for less capable and reluctant readers. The dynamics of two families, the community, and the police investigation keep readers guessing, even though the ending is predictable. A quick and easy read. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ExcelentThis was a very great book. It wasn't as scary as the cover made it look. But it still awas a good book. It left me in suspense throughout the whole book. I had no clue who commited the murder. But it started giving it away toward the end of the book. But other than that I had no clue. So if you are looking for a good suspenseful book than this one is a good choice for you. Rating:  - This is considered a mystery?I was immediately intrigued by the cover and title of this book, Blood Trail. Even though it was short, and I don't usually read short books, it still looked pretty interesting. Now, I had read that this book was a mystery. I love mysteries, you know, trying to see who dun it and why and all of that good stuff. So I was looking forward to a bit of a lower level mystery that wouldn't take as long to figure out as others. I thought I was in for a pretty good mystery. Boy was I wrong. ... Read More Rating: - Great BookWhen I started to read this book I could not put it down. I was so into it, but at the end it kind of left me hangin. I would have wanted a bit more info. I still would rate this a 5 any time. Rating:  - Too many questions left me hangingThe intensity of this novel is good, but the plot left me with too many questions left unanswered. I'm not sure what motived the character who turns out to be the murderer. I think a bit more content and development would have made this one a true page turner.
