"Tense serial killer suspense thriller"

He is the ultimate matchmaker insuring that the dead receive what they deserved, but did not get out of life. He insures that the recently departed and their soulmate spend eternity together even though he may have to expedite moving the survivor on.

Former FBI profiler turned deputy sheriff Greer Lomax fears her current assignment that brings back the memories of why she fled the agency and the agent she loves. Two years is not enough to rid herself of her nightmares, but the court demands she exhume a corpse now. Greer is stunned as the deceased shares his last resting spot with a dead woman. She needs help so she asks her former lover FBI agent Ash Keller to investigate. Ash still loves Greer, but is angry that she left him. AS they work together to uncover the culprit, the matchmaker believes they are a perfect couple to spend eternity together.

THE MATCHMAKER is a tense serial killer suspense tale with a strong romantic subplot. The killer is cleverly employed so that the audience along with Greer slowly see a picture of a maniac murderer matching the living with the dead. The relationship between Ash and Greer accentuates the troubled case. Though similar in tone to police procedurals involving a psychopathic serial killer like Copycat, Jamie Denton hooks her audience from start to finish with this taut thriller.
