Christmas, Tennessee brings to mind year-long snow, Santa Claus, fir trees decorated with lights and ornaments. And that's mostly right .. except THIS Christmas, Tennessee also has a serial killer.

Miranda has followed the killer from Dayton, Ohio. The Rosary Killer brutally murdered three men and then disappeared. Miranda knows who it was .. but she couldn't convince the detectives of his guilt.

Miranda has a secret ... no one knows who she really is, not even the sheriff. A teenage boy has disappeared, leaving nothing but blood behind. When another man is taken and then found brutally murdered, Miranda tells the Sheriff, Tucker Ambrose, part of her story, hoping and praying that he will believe her.

This was a terrific serial killer book. I was swinging back and forth trying to figure out who the killer was. I truly enjoy a murder mystery that is so well written with red herrings here and there that I can't even come close to figuring out who the bad guy is.

The characters were believable and I fell in "like" with all of them ... Miranda, Tucker, and his friend and fellow detective Finn. I'm keeping fingers crossed that maybe Finn will get his own story.
