Homicide Detective Elise Sandburg and her partner, former FBI profiler David Gould, are no strangers to serial killers. This is the 3rd in the series and each human monster seems to be worse than the last.
This one seems to want to play games with the detectives, bringing them closer and closer to an explosive end.
This is okay as a stand-alone, although, as usual, I highly recommend starting with the first.
This book introduces a couple of new characters ... one is Elise's father with whom she's been estranged for many years. The other is a new FBI profiler who David has blamed for the death of his son.
The book, as all are in this series, is extremely well-written. There are lots of 'clues' to confuse everyone... truly a 'puzzle' to solve.
Elise is a very strong woman, at least on the outside. She does has personal issues with trust and commitment. David is dealing with his own demons, mainly that of still dealing with his son's death. He has a 'thing' for Elise, but she just isn't interested.. or is she?
I had read the first in this series quite a while back, so I'm looking forward to re-reading the first and second in the series ... yes, I thought it was that good!
