“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!

Overall this was a great thrilling read. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. If you’re looking for a great series that pulls you in this is the one for you. 1-click and get started today.
I bow down to the almighty pen wielded by O’Flynn. She is so extremely gifted. The stories that she puts in your hands… if you are craving an amazing story, filled with twists and turns, and then some more, criminal minds, mayhem and murder – RUN and pick up this latest treasure. Each book stands on its own well but I will tell you now, you will want every single book O’Flynn has written. I was left breathless with every page and simply couldn’t put it down until I finished reading. Haunting, suspense-filled – I simply loved it. I can not recommend it more highly. Five stars doesn’t do it justice.
These books are so fabulous that I am often at a loss of words for how to review them without giving away all those gritty and juicy details but I always try because they are too good to miss out on. Composed is the 8th installment in the Ash Park novels and I would highly recommend that you read the books in order before diving in or you may be a lot lost. These books build and we have the steady character of Detective Petrosky that changes and grows as a person throughout. Like in the previous novels his own dark demons of his past will come to light in the present murder case he is trying to solve. He once again finds himself hot on the heels of a serial killer terrorizing the people of Ash Park. I won’t divulge more because that would be a disservice but I cannot recommend these books enough. If you love a dark twisted murder mystery these have it all and more! Prepare yourself time to completely devour the novel because if you are anything like me you will find yourself up well past bedtime to figure out how the book will end. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series!
Composed (An Ash Park Novel Book 8) by Meghan O’Flynn. This is one of my very favorite series and I love Meghan O’Flynn. I would suggest you read the books in order to be able to better understand the series.

Its the continuing story of Edward Petrosky who is a Detective that is just coming back from leave for a justified shooting. He has several demons he is continually fighting and staying sober is the most prominent one right now.

He will move heaven and earth to save her and if not he will die trying.

Will Edward find the killer before its too late? Read Composed to find out you won’t be disappointed!

5 of 5 Stars
This is book 8 in Meghan O’Flynn’s ‘Ash Park’ series but each book can be read as a standalone story. This is a gritty fast paced crime thriller which had me gripped from page one and which had so many clever twists and turns that it kept me hooked and guessing until the very last page. The main character, Detective Petrosky was a great character with so many layers to him and an intriguing backstory of his own. Composed’s storyline is chilling and dark, and I became fully immersed in the story. The writer has amazingly detailed descriptions, so I felt as though I was there along side Detective Edward Petrosky.
In this novel the Detective is tormented after a justified shooting in his previous case and fresh from leave his next case is a ruthless serial killer. With the citizens of Ash Park at risk Petrosky investigates, however when the Chief of Police and friend of the Detective is abducted the case becomes personal. Detective Petrosky must discover who the murderer is and stop him before his friend becomes his next victim. As described this is definitely a “dark, twisted, thrill ride”, and I could not put it down. I am already excited for the next book in Meghan O’Flynn’s ‘Ash Park’ series.
This is the 8th book in the Ash Park series and just like the others are gripping from the beginning.the characters are so well written you can’t help but feel the same emotions as they do. Even though this is the 8th book you can read it as a standalone as the characters are clear to understand however there are little flashbacks to previous books that may not make sense if you haven’t read them. That being said they don’t take anything away from this book or make it confusing.
We are back with Petrosky on the hunt for a killer. When a woman turns up dead and mutilated he fears this maybe a serial killer. He thinks his suspicious are confirmed when another woman turns up. Is this the same killer or a copycat?
With no leads to follow things take another twist when his boss is kidnapped. After helping Petrosky battle his demons this case now takes on a personal aspects. When he won’t bend to the kidnappers demands its now a race against time to save the one person who cared for him.

Composed: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 8)
Composed is the gripping eighth book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This series just seems to get grittier, and more compelling the further we go. Each instalment manages to slightly eclipse the previous book- leading me on an intense, thrilling, mind-boggling ride- and giving me many chills and thrills along the way.
As with all the other books in the series, I was completely invested and entirely absorbed by the story. I gave up valuable sleep time to stay up reading, because I couldn’t put it down for a minute, I just had to know how everything played out before I could ‘let go’. But even after closing the book, the story stayed on my mind as I appreciated how cleverly crafted it was- while also anticipating what Book #9 may hold.
Detective Edward Petrosky has been battling his demons, through the series, but even more so in this book. He is put to the test when he has to hunt down a cold-blooded serial killer, deal with his personal issues, and try to save his only ‘real’ friend. The stakes are high, time is of the essence, and the killer is a twisted psychopath. So, with a lot hanging in the balance, everything hinges on Petrosky- and whether or not he can wrestle his demons into submission.
Compelling Reading!
Thank you, Meghan O’Flynn!
These just keep getting better and better. The author does an amazing job bringing these characters and story to life. I can easily picture Petrosky in my head. His gruffness, how he speaks his mind no matter what and how grouchy he comes off but is a marshmallow with those he cares about. Even Jackson I am getting to like. Still missing Morrison but a female partner brings out a new side of Petrosky.
This one shocked and surprised me. This author has a knack of telling a story but never letting the reader “figure it out”. I love that. She easily draws me into the story with the perfect amount of suspense and familiarization. Even the smiles all due to Petrosky’s smart mouth. When he became fixated on a wasp nest and Decantor in here. I couldn’t help but smile….big!
Overall another outstanding story from Meghan O’Flynn. Filled with gritty, sadistic, sassy characters. I can’t wait for more.

Whew!! Petrosky is back and with a bang. I love this guy, even as broken and messed up as he is I love him!
This case made me truly cringe and I’m thinking that is exactly what this author wanted. That part of the story is as usual everything you expect from this author, but the part that has me completely invested is Petrosky fighting his demons every minute of every day. It feels so real and I can almost feel his struggles within myself. This to me makes a good author a Phenomenal author. I never want this series to end and was so so happy to see a #9, but I must admit I can’t wait for it to end so I can sit and read every one of them back to back all over again!
If you have not picked up any of these and you even kind of like this genre, you seriously must read this series. It is in a class of its own and this author can write like nobody’s business and I would put her up against any of the big names you associate with this genre!
Loved It!!
Composed is the eighth novel in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn.
Edward Petrosky is back and ready to take on a case while fighting with his past.
The city is on high alert after a woman is found, but it’s the way that she was found that has Edward trying to find the killer before they strike again.
Novels like this are not good for my sleep. Not only do I stay up late reading but the suspense of the books gives me dreams of scenes of the books. That how I know a book really affected me.
Despite my lack of my sleep, I really enjoy this series and look forward to the next one.
This book is mystery, suspenseful, and action-packed. I am a huge fan of the author’s as the descriptions take hold of you and don’t loosen its grip. You follow Petrovsky in this book that seems like a twisted horror movie. As the detectives lead you down the race to save their captain, your head will be spinning just as much as theirs do in this thriller. The author knows how to string the reader along to seek justice for the victims as much as partners Jackson and Petrovsky. I love how original every book in this series is and as a fan of criminal stories, this one had me hooked from the first chapter. Great and heroic characters with a great balance of action along the way.

I’ve read most of the book now in this series and I think this is definitely my favourite by far! Wow what a read! I think to keep a series going this long is such an achievement and it honestly just keeps getting better and better. The twists and turns in the story definitely kept me on the edge of seat the whole way through – this one was such an exciting read! I love Petrosky, he’s such an interesting character to read about and I have thoroughly enjoyed following him as he solves all of these cases. The authors writing is style is excellent, really engaging and the stories flow really well. I am so excited to read more from Ms Flynn again in the future and I highly recommend this book and series!
Call me a broken record but this series gets better with every book. Just when you think Petrosky has been through enough, here comes another killer to laugh in his face. These stories keep me hooked to the pages to know what happens next. This authors writing style is what keeps you coming back for more. Absolutely enjoyed this story

Composed (An Ash Park Novel Book 8) by Meghan O’Flynn .
This series has left me speechless and in a good way. I’m a huge fan of this author and this series. I highly recommend reading this whole series-as it gives you a better idea of what is going on. I promise you won’t be disappointed I sure haven’t been. I’m telling you from the very first page to the last page I was hooked. I couldn’t stop reading till I finished. I was pretty much on the edge of my seat throughout this whole book. Petrosky is back and he’s trying to bring a killer to justice . He is haunted by his past but he always trusts his instincts. Will the killer be stopped. Find out what happens next in this must read. I truly can’t recommend this series or this author enough. I can’t wait to read more.
This has been one series that I have loved and enjoyed from the first book. I highly suggest reading all the books in this series to help you see where the characters are coming from. This author has continued to impress me with books that pull me into a suspenseful-mystery from the beginning. They are engaging and the characters make the story easy to read. This book is no different. It is fast paced and a page turner. I had no problems connecting to the characters as they brought the story to life. Petrosky is back in another page turner. In this book not only is he fighting himself but one of the most dangerous types of killer. A woman is murdered but when a second woman is killed, he starts to wonder if there is a copycat. But when his boss is kidnapped the story takes on a new meaning for him. When he refuses to do what the kidnapper wants, he is faced with having only one chance to find the killer before he loses the one person who has been there for him. Will this case wake or silence his demons? You don’t want to miss this book and the twists and turns that will leave you turning pages to the end. I lost track of time with this book and felt I was right there. I highly recommend this book and this author.
This story blew my mind!!! I thought I was reading a murder mystery…which I was but this story has a HUGE twist I never saw coming until the author allowed it!! A masterpiece for the ages!!! I loved reading this story. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Waited anxiously for this and was not disappointed! Lovethisauthorand lovethisseries!
I think that it was horrible, DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!
Although this book is 8th in the series, I feel like it could be read as a standalone.
I enjoyed seeing Petrosky’s real feelings be portrayed and not just snark; not that I don’t enjoy that as well. But in this book, we got to see a deeper side to him, and it made me feel more attached. I like a flawed hero who tries to do good and potentially better themselves, and that is exactly who Petrosky is. It was nice to see that side played out. I also enjoyed Jackson, Petrosky’s partner, getting her own story as well. The banter between the two of them provides the dark and serious matter of the story with some much-needed levity.
This particular storyline felt fresh and new to me. I enjoy the psychology behind the characters’ actions, it makes it more believable. I did wish that I had slightly more insight into the killer’s mind, but I am wondering if they won’t make a reappearance in future books.
Overall, this book was intriguing and kept me turning the page. When it was over, I felt like I needed more, so I am anxiously awaiting the next book.
