"One of Lisa Gardner's best yet. The riddle of each body providing clues leading to the next abductee added another dimension to the suspense and intrigue of this novel. Another brilliantly written and cleverly plotted thriller."
— David (5 out of 5 stars)
" Another must read from Lisa Gardner!! I loved everything about it! "
— Lori, 2/19/2014" I read this because my Mom knows the author. Having such low expectations, it was actually a very enjoyable read. I especially enjoyed the backdrop of the Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive and Richmond, all areas I know well. Good for plane reading, but I would read more of Lisa Gardner... "

— Jennifer, 9/10/2013" This is a compelling read of a serial killer, for this third book in the series, though I'm read it out of order. It has action, drama, suspense, intrigue and a hint of romance. What a rush! "
