Lazy days rated it 5 years ago
Some might say this is a formulaic serial killer mystery which follows a path of a thousand other such cliched books but it has been a really long time since I have read a detective mystery and I devoured it. I thought it was well written and loved that it was built around a strong female lead. I le...

So-so crime story, very predictable, lots of graphic violence. The main character, Kate Burkholder, isn't particularly likeable or memorable. It's hard for me to see her as the basis for a continuing series.
