Skincare does not have to be expensive to be effective. More and more brands are formulating products at affordable price points that rival the results and efficacy of their luxury competitors.

The Butcher – Good but not great. Also, there is a warning in the beginning of the book for VERY bigoted language by the main character. Thankfully it wasn’t too egregious but it’s worth noting. Edward Shank is the retired chief of police with his most notable achievement being his identifying and ultimate killing of the area’s infamous serial killer “The Butcher”. Decades later, it seems like there is a copycat killer emerging and young women begin to go missing again. Could it be that they go the wrong guy? Edward’s grandson stumbles upon the answer unknowingly and must decide if he should keep this information to himself or risk destroying the only family he has left. The reader discovers who the killer is very early on in the book so most of the story is the race for everyone to finally put the clues together.
