"I am remembering some of the background story line because it has been a long time since I read the other books in this series. This one was ok, not much of a mystery, more of suspense. I want to complete the rest of the series over time. I do cringe at some of the language and sex scenes."

    " This Lucas Davenport thriller from Sandford focuses on a serial killer who leaves creepy nude portraits of his women before killing them. A chance find leads the police to the killer's graveyard in the woods as they try to find "the artist" before he kills again. Some nice action and a couple of good twists and turns. Not the best in the series but not the worst. "
