None. I loved the first 2, can't wait for this one! (  ) pam.enser | Apr 1, 2013 |  I liked this book despite the ridiculous choices the characters kept making. Oh, you get an anonymous call in the middle of the night? Let's go investigate! Oh, you think there might be a murderer in a dark, dank basement? Let's do this. People just don't make these choices except in horror movies. At least, I hope they don't. I get that Archie is/was a detective and, at some times, had a gun. But he didn't have back up--and no, Susan doesn't count, we all saw how useless she was. Both of them just kept making stupid choices. Either way, I still really enjoyed the story. I'd still recommend it to any of my friends that have read the other books in the series. P.S. I loved the eyeballs in the pocket during CPR. (  ) FlanneryAC | Mar 31, 2013 | My blog post about this book is at this link. ( ) SuziQoregon | Mar 31, 2013 | This is the third Archie/Gretchen novel by Chelsea Cain that I have read. It seems that each one drops by half a star. This time, we do not focus on their relationship so I was a bit let down. The change in storyline is initially offputting even though it is still very well written. After my initial disappointment, I wonder if the author is putting a twist in the series in an effort to not saturate the characters or the readers. I came upon Ms Cain by getting a greatly reduced price on Heartsick. I was immediately impressed. There are only two more in the series to read. I wish she had more books available. I find her writing style to be addictive. ( ) honoliipali | Jan 5, 2013 | Gretchen Lowell continues to haunt and torment the people of Portland, Oregon, so Archie Sheridan checks himself out of rehab to join in the hunt. I was able to share the experience of listening to this book with my husband on a road-trip. We both have had very similar thoughts with the first two in this series, and we were no different with this one. Thankfully, it turned out to be better than the second, but I hope Cain is done with the Gretchen Lowell saga. I've had enough of her. There was so much that I didn't care for in this book - the varied forms of bathroom talk, the ridiculous fan club idea, and some other minor plot glitches, that I'm surprised I ended up thinking it was an okay read. Needless to say, I did. Can't think of anything good to highlight, but I did. Originally posted on: Thoughts of Joy ( ) ThoughtsofJoyLibrary | Aug 13, 2012 | no reviews | add a review

Chelsea Cain’s novels featuring Portland detective Archie Sheridan and serial killer Gretchen Lowell have captivated fans through two nail-biting entries, Heartsick and Sweetheart, both of them multiweek bestsellers in The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly.
Gretchen Lowell is still on the loose. These days, she’s more of a cause célèbre than a feared killer, thanks to sensationalist news coverage that has made her a star. Her face graces magazine covers weekly and there have been sightings of her around the world. Most shocking of all, Portland Herald reporter Susan Ward has uncovered a bizarre kind of fan club, which celebrates the number of days she’s been free.
Archie Sheridan hunted her for a decade, and after his last ploy to catch her went spectacularly wrong, remains hospitalized months later. When they last spoke, they entered a détente of sorts---Archie agreed not to kill himself if she agreed not to kill anyone else. But when a new body is found accompanied by Gretchen’s trademark heart, all bets are off and Archie is forced back into action. Has the Beauty Killer returned to her gruesome ways, or has the cult surrounding her created a whole new evil?
Chelsea Cain continues to deliver heart-stopping thrills and chills in the latest entry in this dynamic bestselling series.
