Ted Dekker is without a doubt my favorite fiction author. And his newest novel, The Bride Collector, is another literary smash hit.

I never cease to be amazed at Dekker’s ability to produce a story that captures my imagination even more than his last written offering.

In The Bride Collector, FBI Special Agent Brad Raines is on the trail of a serial killer, and he continually finds himself a step or two behind his man.

In the process of trying to understand the mind of a psychopathic killer, Raines turns to the Center for Wellness and Intelligence, where he is captivated by one of the residents of this extraordinary mental health care facility.

Paradise is a young woman who struggles with mental illness and severe phobias, but she turns out to be invaluable help to Agent Raines in his search for the killer. And as he gets to know Paradise better, he is drawn deeper into her world, beginning to see things from her perspective more clearly.

And Paradise will discover what it means to love and be loved, to find beauty in all of God’s creations, and trust where she least expects it.

To go any further with this synopsis would be to give up too much of the plot. Rest assured that Dekker is at his best in The Bride Collector. This is definitely a book that you will not be able to set aside until you finish it. It will open your eyes to the reality of the battle between good and evil, as much of Dekker’s work does. But it will also help you to see those with mental illness in a new and more compassionate light.

The Bride Collector is definitely a five star novel.
