“A riveting and original serial-killer saga that will keep you frantically turning pages to the hair-raising conclusion.”~Bestselling author Emerald O’BrienA ruthless serial killer. A tormented detective. One chance to save his best friend.Fresh off leave after a justified shooting, Edward Petrosky is battling his own brain as much as he is the world around him. His ex-wife has finally stopped … the world around him. His ex-wife has finally stopped calling, and he’s even pulled away from his neighbors. The chief of police might be the only person helping to keep Petrosky sober.
When a woman is found dead near a local running trail, the city goes on high alert. Not only was the victim posed, but her body had been altered as if a crazy plastic surgeon had taken a scalpel to her. This killer is meticulous, careful—in Petrosky’s experience, the most dangerous kind of psycho. But then a second victim turns up, and she hasn’t been mutilated in quite the same way. Strange for a perfectionist suspect. Had the perp been interrupted, or is there a more sinister explanation? Perhaps they’re dealing with a copycat, or a pair of killers—the citizens of Ash Park might be in more peril than Petrosky had anticipated.
But when the chief of police is abducted, the case shifts into unchartered territory. The killer they’re after doesn’t just want to play with his victims—he wants notoriety. And the only way he’ll get it is if Petrosky opens up about the case, a move that could put the chief’s life in more danger.
And that’s a risk Petrosky cannot take. Petrosky’s only shot is to find their perp before the maniac slices into his boss—the only friend he hasn’t managed to push away. Can he catch the killer and muzzle his demons? Or will this case awaken the devil he’s been trying to silence?
Composed is a dark, twisted, thrill ride from bestselling author Meghan O’Flynn. If you like Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes, Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk, or Emerald O’Brien’s Knox and Sheppard Mysteries, you’ll love this 8th installment from the Ash Park series!

If you like creepy mysteries or police procedurals, you’ll enjoy Composed and the whole Ash Park series.
Composed is another dark, gritty, twisted tale in Meghan O’Flynn’s Ash Park series, which features the tight plotting, wicked characterization and twisted realism I love about her books. More Stephen King than Agatha Christie, this story strikes the right balance of mystery and suspense with elements of psychological terror carefully woven in. A fantastic addition to the series.
Dark. Twisted. Sick. Visceral. Awesome. This a real nail-biter of a story. The killer is a seriously messed up dude. Petrosky definitely has a one track mind and a laser focus. He won’t sleep until he has the perpetrator behind bars. I like him. One seriously intense book. I loved it!
Suspenseful and captivating.

I thought this book was excellent loved every part of it but then I’ve never read a Meghan O’flynn book I haven’t liked!!!
Just another disturbing, suspenseful day in Ash Park. Petrosky as always on the verge of falling apart, but not. He’s good at his job and has a big heart, so all his flaws and struggles just make you worry over him like family. But anyways, he and his partner have a case to solve!
There’s a serial killer out there, and all his victims have different but horrifying things done to them. Especially the first one. That one may creep you out and make it hard to sleep. And one of the victims is someone unexpected.
Composed has just the right balance of scary, action, and mystery to keep the pages turning fast for me. I’m kind of addicted to the series.
