He is scrupulously careful, craving those exquisite seconds when the light fades from his victim's eyes. But the rush never lasts, and the killing won't stop—not until one special woman has been made to suffer . . .

"I discovered that I really like the way this author writes. Such a page turner, kept me going. My kind of book, thriller, how there are really sick twisted very, very sad stories like this one. I know it is not true, but these things really do happen in the real world. I loved this one."
— Donna (5 out of 5 stars)
" While the book held your interest and had twist and turn, it was way too graphic for my taste. "
— Barbara, 11/12/2013" First book from this author that I've read. I was quite pleased...I liked how he combined two story lines into one book. "
— Amanda, 10/23/2013" There were some parts of this book that were so well written and good and then other parts that weren't so much. "
— Shelly, 9/21/2013" Haven't read a thriller in awhile and this was a good way to start. Liked how the author wove separate story lines together "
— Mich, 8/15/2013" The characters just never became real for me. Seemed like it was going to be to be just another serial killer book and by page 150 I lost interest. I didn't even check out the ending. I didn't much care. "
— Linda, 7/14/2013" Perfectly good for reading in an airport, on the subway, etc but when you've figured out who the killer is by page 92 and there are still a couple hundred pages left, not exactly brilliantly written. "
— K, 6/10/2013" keep writing olsen, it is what you do best. I loved this book. "
— Artdalinkwent, 5/15/2013" Almost gave up half way through this book. It turned out OK, but I hope Olsen's next book is better. "
— Brenda, 11/3/2012" I really did enjoy this book. It has alot of mystery to it. And I did not even imagine who the killer was...I would recommend to everyone who like mysterys! "
— Pam, 6/23/2012" I read this on because of the area it take place in. It is not far from where i live so I recognized a lot of the places. It is a good mystery for a rainy day with a good twist at the end. "
— Barbara, 5/9/2012" This book was excellent and got me started on my Gregg Olsen kick. It was downright creepy and kept me "on my toes" throughout the book trying to figure out what was going to happen. Probably one of my favorite GO book although they all are pretty close to one another in ratings. "
— Naomi, 1/24/2012" Very perdictable. I guess I am not really too crazy about this author. His true crime books I feel are not worth the time and his non-fiction is poorly written slop. It really read like a bad scripty for Murder She Wrote ! "
— Laura, 9/2/2011" Good, quick read with short chapters. First book by this author...will look for more. "
— Marlu, 7/1/2011" WARNING- If you are sensitive to animal abuse, do not read this book. I had to stop reading it because the description of animal murders and mutilation was too much for me. I know, I am reading a book with human murders, but I can't deal with animal abuse at all. "
— Reeny, 5/31/2011" I loved Gregg Olsen's two other books A Wicked Snow and A Cold Dark Place. I couldn't put them down. This one I barely made it through. It just didn't grab my interest and I thought there was too much going on, too many characters. I didn't care for the plot either. "
— Abra, 4/12/2010" Not my usual genre... got it for the husband, then ran out of books in my own bag. However, it was good. Well-written, well-crafted plot, deep good and bad guy characterizations, good sense of place. Hung onto this one because I'm sure the husband will like it, too. "
— Lori, 3/24/2010" Deep and dark very riviting sometimes hard to read because of the nature but still a page turner. Didn't want to quit on this one. "
