Stalking Death

Stalking Death was the first of Kate Flora’s books that I read, and it has made me want to read more of her mystery novels. This is a “Thea Kozak Mystery”, and like her other works like the others, traces the thoughts and actions of a protagonist who appears in several of Flora’s novels in a series. Thea Kozak isn’t a private detective or police officer, but is a member of a consulting firm that works with private schools in New England that are facing a crisis. In this case the school’s headmaster wants to expel a student who he claims has been a problem. The student claims she is being stalked. A murder is committed along the way, Thea is physically threatened and attacked, and the plot twists through a backdrop of deception. hatred, and violence. Still, it is written in a way that keeps you interested to know what comes next and how the story unravels.
