	Which of Pierce's series involves serial murder? I like her writing and I'm a total sucker for serial killer stories, so I clearly need to read it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Circle Opens books ALL have serial killers in them, which honestly isn't a spoiler, it comes up either really early or in the summary of the story. Though to be fair, even the beginning books don't exactly pull punches. Dead pirates, forest fires and plagues, anyone? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I'm not sure I'd really class any of them but Tris's as "serial killer stories", since the others involve revenge murders, or gang-related deaths (though not in the gang-fight way), or indirect killings where the focus of the killer isn't really on the deaths.

I don't think the books are inappropriate for teens, given the *way* they're written. Not to mention, there's sex in her other books, which are usually targeted at a slightly younger audience. (Or anyway, Song of The Lioness and The Immortals feel like they're written a couple of years younger than The Circle Opens is.)

	They're put in the 9-14 section at my local bookstore. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Also some of the Beka Cooper books? They've fuzzed in my brain a little but there was definitely a plot line involving repeated mass-murders. Oh, also child-murders. (Reply to this)(Parent)
