New Orleans - 2058 - MATTHEW RAYMOND, a private detective, locked into a maze of deceit and deception uncovers the truth of Project Transcendence. A gripping page-turning thriller serial killer novel in the tradition of "The Silence of the Lambs," "Darkly Dreaming Dexter," and "Misery" that demands to be read. One part suspenseful thriller of 'who done it,' one part science fiction and one part sizzling erotica that makes "Fifty Shades of Grey" look PG, "The Keystroke Killer: Transcendence" is an impressive debut for Caudle as she weaves her characters into a dark and twisted journey to uncover a deranged and utterly immoral serial killer who controls a weapon of mass destruction. Set in the backdrops of political corruption and scandal in 2053 New Orleans, the novel follows Matthew a tortured private investigator as he tracks down a violent and dangerous serial killer who is destined to become one of the most genuinely chilling serial killers in fiction.

For Matthew Raymond, his job as a private detective is personal. Very Personal. After the disturbing 2053 murder of his sister, Livia, rage filled him igniting a search for her killer and answers to the mysterious questions that lurked around her death. Now, three years later, Matthew realizes his problems just went from bad to worse as he discovers himself immersed in a city where the wealthy and corrupt politicians rule. With his sister's murder still his main focus, he plunges himself in a cunning game of cat-and-mouse when he stumbles across the Keystroke Killer exposing a secret device that makes him capable of sending people to the fourth dimension without a trace. Project Transcendence becomes Matthew's new fixation as he searches the Deep South for answers which uncovers dark family secrets, lies and corruption which makes him a target of the Keystroke Killer. Will Matthew be able to survive the threat of extinction? Will he untangle the mystery of Livia's death? Find out in this powerful twisted and dark tale. "The Keystroke Killer" is unforgettable and grisly disturbing you will not likely forget. This novel is not for the feint of heart, but is a must read that will keep you turning the pages as you hold your breath.

Seriously this book is not for the faint of heart
I was attempting to come with an intelligent review of this book and I will tell you the scenes from the words were running through my mind in such a manor that I couldn't focus on any one or combination of statements that would accurately assess "The Keystroke Killer", I would like to say it was a cross with Sci Fi, Mystery, an account of how a Serial Killer thinks. But so much more. What I can say is I couldn't put it down I kept thinking about it. I had to know what happened next. When I worked I couldn't wait to get home to read more. It is an impressive work of art. I am very happy to represent it as the top 2 of all the books I have read in my entire life. I highly recommend reading this book. If you do choose to read it, good luck. If you don't read it you will never have one of the major thrills of your life

5.0 out of 5 stars A Psychological Thriller that will keep you awake all night.
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2018
Matthew Raymond witnesses his sister Livia being murdered by the serial killer Milo Evans. After Milo is sent to prison Matthew continues to visit Milo in jail to try to figure out what exactly happened.
Melissa Caudle will bring your reading focus to the forefront. You will not want to put this one down until you reach the thrilling conclusion. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing.
One of my favorite quotes from the book. “It takes a village to raise a child, it takes the world to launch a novel.”
It will keep you wondering if the characters are good or “bad.” Dr. Garrick Angela and Dimension Global has a hold on those in high political places. And also friends in low places as well.
Find out which character in the story uses the delete key as an identifier of his work in the serial killings.
Strange things are happening in New Orleans and you will find out how are they all connected. Find out by reading this well written novel.
Matthew’s past haunts him and we the readers will learn what takes place in the mind of a killer.
This is a top notch psychological thriller. Dr. Melissa Caudle has the ability to write a thriller that will keep you up all night. 5 Solid Stars. I cannot wait to read the next novel in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a "PHENOMENAL READ!!!"
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018
I love psychological thrillers but this definitely tops anything that I've ever read or watched! I wanted to divide my reading time according to my schedule but that didn't work. Lol. I didn't want to put it down so, I finished it way sooner than I planned. There's several characters and all with a backstory. And just when I thought I knew what would happen next, more unimaginable twist and turns! A good description of this book would be, Hannibal Lecter meets Fifty Shades Of Grey with more intrigue!!! The only problem is, it's like a soap opera leaving you dying to know what happens next!... SERIOUSLY, if you love psychological thrillers, you would absolutely love this without a doubt!!!
