.

From the dark shadows of the water, a hand appears, pale and cold. Katie locks eyes with the woman she’s been searching for, her once-beautiful face now crusted with salt and etched with pain. “Please…” she whispers, “I’m going to die…”

Working late one evening, Detective Katie Scott crosses the dimly lit parking lot alone to find a small white box left on the passenger seat of her car, a manicured and perfectly preserved finger within. Choked by fear, Katie can’t tell if it’s a dark message or a deadly threat. But if this twisted individual wanted her attention, they’ve got it.

The next day, an arm is discovered by a runner out on a local nature trail, and Katie’s team are quick to link it to the same innocent female victim. Trawling the scene for any shred of evidence, Katie can only hope that the blood found on a napkin in the shrubs is the lead they so desperately need. But as more body parts belonging to more women start turning up all over Pine Valley, the clock is ticking on one of the most challenging cases of her career.

Then forensics come back to confirm there’s a chance one of the victims, Patricia Kahn, might still be alive. Katie must sacrifice everything to get ahead of the chase. But following the killer to his hunting ground at a local yoga studio, and into the darkest depths of depravity, is she already too late? Will she be the next piece in this deadly monster’s collection?

This nail-biting and totally addictive serial-killer thriller is perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine, and Melinda Leigh. Another unputdownable page-turner from a USA Today and Amazon bestseller!

My Review:

 

This case was a complicated and rather gruesome one that kept me on edge and nibbling my cuticles. The storylines were deviously paced and cleverly plotted, with a diabolically clever and twisted killer who was always a few steps ahead of everyone. The headstrong and driven detective Katie Scott was in his sights and viewed as a delectable trophy to obtain and dismantle.

I shudder to think of what Ms. Chase has rolling around in her cranium for any noisy or troublesome neighbors. I would advise anyone living or visiting in her neighborhood to tiptoe past her residence with care and packages of treats.
