Racing against the clock, Eve and her team must work fast to identify the next victim of a killer who will stop at nothing ...
Geez, JD Robb was on a role with this book and the last, huh? Clearly trying to pull out the heart and stomp all over it. I think the fact that this book followed the cop-killer of the last book made it that much more gut wrenching. Even now, a month later, when I'm reminded of the horrors of this book I want to cry a little. It was just so devastating. And once again, Eve was amazing.
