Trouble arises in Michigan when a serial killer decides to make the town his hunting ground. The story revolves around Sheriff Parker and the mysterious intruder invading the peace of Michigan. It all started in January when Kelly Robinson was reported missing. A week after her disappearance, she was found dead. Ashlynn Shaffer was also declared missing in mid-August and found dead after a week. The same fate befell Taylor Wallace two months after the incident with Ashlynn. One thing was common with the three murders: the women were raped, assaulted, killed, and dumped in an open site. Who was behind all these evil acts?

Harvesting Evil: Murder on the Lakeshore by CJ Wheeler is an amazing mystery and crime thriller mixed with romance. The commitment of Sheriff Parker to the civilians is put to the test by this evil that masquerades itself in darkness and leaves no trail behind. In unraveling this case, Parker's secret from her past began to come to light.

The unique features of each character blended in to produce this beautiful, heartwarming book. I loved that Parker had a sense of strong will, independence, and charisma. Phil was very smart but still had difficulty fitting into his duty since he was new. Agent Locke had a charming aura, and Mike was too good at his job. The storyline can be compared to a plane in a windstorm, and the writer made sure to land the plane safely.

Even as a first-time writer, according to page 3 of this book, CJ Wheeler made a strong impression on me. The writing skills, content, narrative, and everything generally impressed me. I had my eyes glued to the book in anticipation of what was coming next, and indeed, the author did not let down my expectations.

Harvesting Evil: Murder on the Lakeshore also sheds light on the issue of parental upbringing. I would not fail to mention that every national problem was once a regional problem. Every regional problem was once a community problem. Every community problem was once a family problem, and every family problem began due to the neglect of one individual.

My rating for Harvesting Evil: Murder on the Lakeshore is 4 out of 4 stars. I love every aspect of the book, and even the characters' names were a perfect match. I have no negative aspects to discuss in this book. The book was still edited professionally.

This book will greatly benefit young readers, especially teens. But it's not advisable to be read by children due to the horrific scenes and sexual content. I advise every reader to pay attention to the content and not just skim through the book. If you appreciate books on crime detection and serial killing, this book will suit you.

I always enjoy a good story about a serial killer, especially when the excuses for his/her killing is also discussed. When will parents realize that their actins towards their children have consequences?

Books with mystery and crime investigations are a thrill for me, but in this case, seeing romance as a description for a book about a serial killer has definitely piqued my interest.

I am thrilled by your review, but feel a bit uneasy about a serial killer who keeps on killing women, up to three of them and who doesn't get caught easily. I would love to read this book but I feel threatened that justice might not be delivered and I hate books with tragic endings. Thanks for this review.
Many books can inform you but there's only one that can transform you(The Holy Bible). Pls don't forget to drop a comment for this review. Thanks. :D :tiphat:

The book relates to all crimes which involves women,example like Ted Bundy how he murdered all his victims but it was hard to catch Ted .The book is really good and having a bit of romance in the book set's the candle to light.The review is well constructed and I would love to read the book.Great job!!

These review reminded me that problem begin(families)when we neglect each other's especially from father/mother with their children.That is the first seed of evil and the parents also the seeds for good or bad seed,it's may be confirmed after they passed to their children.Olanya Morris
