Psychiatrist, Dr. Kirsten Leone is a leading figure in her field, respected by colleagues and clients alike, but her personal life is in shambles, as she finds herself caught up in a tumultuous secret relationship she cannot share with her family.

However, as her involvement in the case deepens, the killer begins targeting not only Kirsten but also her loved ones.

Official Review: Elephants and Chopping Blocks RetainTheir Natural Color... Post by topdan30» 25 Aug 2018, 13:13
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of"Elephants and Chopping Blocks Retain Their Natural Color" by J.Hawki.]
Elephants andChopping Blocks Retain Their Natural Color is a novel by J. Hawki.
The book put meoff at first with its title and the cover page design until I read thedescription. This is not a children's book as some may think, but a fictionalbook with crime, mystery, horror, investigation, and love. It contains sex,violence language and graphic scenes which makes it inappropriate for children.Therefore, I recommend it to lovers of a good fictional novel with much dramaand suspense.
Dr Kirsten Leone is a psychiatrist working in Baltimore. After experiencing heartbreak,she decided to spend her work leave with her family in New York. She did notknow that her experience on the train from Baltimore to New York will changeher life forever.
A vicious and prolific killer is back after an extended absence, and has returned toBaltimore metro area. He kills indiscriminately. Like death itself, it wasdifficult to envisage how he will strike, where and why he strikes. The onlything that is certain is when. The FBI needs Dr. Kirsten Leone to help out intheir investigation as she had done before on this same case.
At this stage, the hunters are now the hunted as the killer is determined totake them all down. The killer is now obsessed with Dr. Kirsten and determinedto have her and take her down.
Why is the killer obsessed with her? What turned her from being part of thehunter to become a prey of this vicious killer?
This is a book I enjoyed reading. It has a lot of likable, well-developed anddetailed characters. All characters belonged together as none looks out of place.The book is just 222 pages and 69 chapters. It has a lovely conclusion butleaves numerous questions for the next book. The story in this book moves at agood pace and it's easy to get absorbed in it.
There were so many aspects of this story that I loved. The Leone family and theirattitude towards life, the theory of Dr. Kirsten's about the mental status of thekiller and the unrelenting nature of the killer in subduing his prey make thebook interesting to read. I also love Joe Leone's theory which says; "Who willprevail and who will perish is determined much more by who is more expert inthe use of the weapon than by who is male and who is female". The theory bringsinto view the issue of gender equality.
I found no flaw in this book, and I am anxious to read the second book.Therefore, I rate Elephantsand Chopping Blocks Retain Their Natural Color 4 out of 4 stars.
