In the latest suspense thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, the year 2060 is drawing to a close in New York City and loved ones are coming together for Thanksgiving. But sometimes the deepest hatreds seethe within the closest relationships, and blood flows faster than water. ? Lieutenant Eve Dallas has plenty to be grateful for this season. Hosting Roarke's big Irish family for the holiday may be challenging, but it's a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood. ? Other couples aren't as lucky as Eve and Roarke. The Reinholds, for example, are lying in their home stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned-and heartbroken by the evidence that they were murdered by their own son. Twenty-six-year-old Jerry hadn't made a great impression on the bosses who fired him or the girlfriend who dumped him-but they didn't think he was capable of this. ? Turns out Jerry is not only capable of brutality but taking a liking to it. With the money he's stolen from his parents and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world. Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry's going to strike next.

[11/29/13]The last couple installments in this series that I read seemed somehow less -- as if maybe the author was getting tired of the series. But that wasn't true of this one. It was also a little different than the norm of the series (if there is one). This one could almost be subtitled "The ...
Love Eve and Roarke as always. I would have been happier with a little less time in the killer and victims heads, but I think that's a personal squick. I can see the value of the scenes for moving the story and evoking fear and compassion respectively.
Interesting case, this is like watching a long-running cop show for me, I really enjoy it.
Definitely over the serial killers. This was a less than good installment, which I knew was coming, since the last 3 were so incredibly good - I was due for a less than good addition. That is how it is with me and the ID books - just one or two hiccups along a well loved road. This is one of those...
