Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. My low rating is due to the fact that this book not only is one in a continuing series (a "Shades of Death" novel), but that it is a continuation of a story that ends 24 HOURS BEFORE this one begins. That is, the events of this novel pick up IMMEDIATELY after the events of its predecessor end. As a result, this is not at all a stand-alone book, and 50 pages into it I had to give up, as the exposition had still at that point not been completely established. The characters, like Bobbie, Weller, Nick, LeDoux, et al, their various relationships to each other, as well as the motives for their actions, and plot points, all depend on the reader's foreknowledge of the previous book, which, if you have not read it, will make this one confusing and uninteresting, despite the backstory the author provides. I just could not make it past 50 pages because of this. A reader who is familiar with this story and history would probably enjoy this, however. A word about modern suspense thrillers: unfortunately, as with the modern horror film trend, I find contemporary thrillers like this more in the venue of torture porn than suspense. Machetes hacking up people's bodies are just not of interest.. Thank you to the author and publisher for a review copy. ( ) no reviews | add a review

"Afraid or not, Detective Bobbie Gentry has a monster to confront. The pain of losing her family and nearly her life to a criminal's vile hunger is still fresh, but now the landscape is different. Now she's not alone. Now she has Nick Shade to trust. Nick treats the terror of his past with vengeance. He's dedicated his life to hunting serial killers, and he'd give his last breath to save Bobbie. When a string of killings bloodies Savannah's elite society and causes cold cases to resurface, Bobbie is captured in a city more haunted than Nick's inescapable nightmares. And as the murderer strikes close, Nick and Bobbie will need to become even closer if they're going to survive"--Amazon.com. No library descriptions found. |
