This had a lot of moving characters and parts, but everything came together.
You start with the premise that someone is taking women for an unknown reason. It's an obsession and despite the killer's point of view, I found myself pondering their motives and who they were throughout the story. Leigh did a great job at making the killer’s point of view seem very real – even sane at times.
Morgan and Lance are back at their crime fighting ways. This time, they are on the lookout for a person who stalks and kills women – mothers.
You really feel for the husband in this case. I thought that the perspectives from friends and family were realistic and thought that Leigh did a great job a having Morgan and Lance's perspectives help shift and shape the case.
You are definitely guessing until the end and whew, what an ending.
I can't wait for the next one!
Sarah – ☆☆☆☆
Morgan Dane is a wonderfully original and refreshing character – and I really enjoyed the second book in this series.
Morgan is a widow, a mother to three young children, and she’s a kickass lawyer/PI. I loved the way Morgan’s experiences informed her reaction to her investigation into the disappearance of a young mother. I also enjoyed her relationship with Lance and the team.
From the start, the author alternates between Morgan’s investigation, the bad guy(s)’s thoughts, and the victim’s experience. While this adds tension and suspense, the details of the victim’s experience are graphic and disturbing. There is a horror element to some early scenes and I felt a little bit uncomfortable reading scenes of torture as a form of entertainment.
The central investigation really fell apart for me at the end. Even after tracing the events backwards, I couldn’t quite fit all the pieces together and I was left with questions. There were some exciting scenes, but readers will struggle to figure out the whodunnit on their own and I suspect many readers will be as puzzled by parts of the ending as I was.
Ultimately, I enjoyed the characters and the relationships in this story. There are some exciting and suspenseful scenes, but the mystery didn’t completely work for me.
