Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:FBI Special agent Brad Raines is facing his toughest case yet. A Denver serial killer has killed four beautiful young women, leaving a bridal veil at each crime scene, and he's picking up his pace. Unable to crack the case, Raines appeals for help from a most unusual source: residents of the Center for Wellness and Intelligence, a private psychiatric institution for mentally ill individuals whose are extraordinarily gifted.
It's there that he meets Paradise, a young woman who witnessed her father murder her family and barely escaped his hand. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Paradise may also have an extrasensory gift: the ability to experience the final moments of a person's life when she touches the dead body.
In a desperate attempt to find the killer, Raines enlists Paradise's help. In an effort to win her trust, he befriends this strange young woman and begins to see in her qualities that most 'sane people' sorely lack. Gradually, he starts to question whether sanity resides outside the hospital walls . . . or inside.
As the Bride Collector picks up the pace-and volume-of his gruesome crucifixions, the case becomes even more personal to Raines when his friend and colleague, a beautiful young forensic psychologist, becomes the Bride Collector's next target.
The FBI believes that the killer plans to murder seven women. Can Paradise help before it's too late?

UGH. I hated the main characters so much that I started rooting for The Bride Collector. ( )

Is this a murder mystery, a romance or a Christian novel? Started out good, intriguing mystery, good tension but then suddenly it's a psychological study of mental illness with an emphasis on sexual attraction between men and women (seems all the dames in this book are constantly preoccupied with whether or not men find them attractive, even when investigating murder). This book was a waste of time.

It's misogynistic, gross and boring. Will be avoiding this author in the future. ( )

I am speechless, well almost. This book was amazing and thrilling from beginning to end! There are so many plot twists that I never saw coming!

The premise behind the story is that a guy with some serious childhood issues decides he has to collect 7 beautiful brides and offer them to God through death. The 7th bride is supposed to be the most beautiful.

The story itself is about how an FBI agent is trying to stop the killer before any more lives are taken. He enlists the help of some very intelligent psychiatric patients to help him decode the case.

I highly recommend for any fans of thrillers! Ted Dekker never disappoints when it comes to this genre! Also, if you've already read his Circle series, there are some references to it that he adds in. ( )
