Detective Jane Harper of
Hope’s Peak, North Carolina has a serial killer on her hands and jack all clues
to find him. With a huge scandal about to rock the police department, Jane and
her partner Stu need to find the killer and fast because he’s escalating. As a mother
of all long shots, Jane decides to visit the daughter of the first woman
murdered in the hope that maybe Ida Lane can recall something, anything, of her
mother’s murder. What Ida brings to the table is no small thing, but it’s up to
Jane and Stu to believe her. With lives at risk, they don’t have much choice.
While this book has
problems it did keep me reading. The writing leaves much to be desired and the
characters aren’t very well-rounded. The plot is a bit simplistic and don’t
count on any CSI quality to the investigation. Dialogue also lacks snappiness.
However, the need to read on was there for me. I’m not exactly sure why. I’ve
read much better murder mysteries about serial killers, but this one, as
lackluster as it is in most areas of writing, kept me interested until the end.
Also, that end? Who does that? Quite an unusual way to end a book 1, but I’m
game for book 2. Some day.
