Lacey Sherlock's life is forever changed when her older sister's body is discovered in an abandoned warehouse. She is the fourth victim of the String Killer, the name given by the media to a murderer who leads his victims into a maze with a ball of twine. Seven years after Belinda's death, Lacey, now an FBI agent, is paired up with computer whiz Dillon Savich, who has developed a predictive program to aid in the apprehension of serial killers.
When the String Killer strikes again, Lacey spots his handiwork, resulting in his capture. The suspect confesses, but maintains that he did not kill Belinda. No sooner does Lacey confirm his innocence of that crime, than an attempt is made on her life. Suspecting her attacker is the same person who murdered her sister, Lacey and Dillon know they must solve the mystery—before they become the killer's next victims.

"I am always looking for new authors to read. I am certainly glad I picked this book. She certainly knows how to keep you interested from the first to the last page. I stayed up all night just to finish this book and immediately went online to order more of this series. " — Marie (5 out of 5 stars)
"I am always looking for new authors to read. I am certainly glad I picked this book. She certainly knows how to keep you interested from the first to the last page. I stayed up all night just to finish this book and immediately went online to order more of this series. "
" Very intriguing. Couldn't put it down "
" I could not put this book down, i was hooked and had to know what was going to happen next. "
" I think this was the second book of Coulter's that I read, put her up there in my must read category each time I found her books. I enjoy the FBI series, though if I remember this one correctly it was pretty creepy. "
" I've read later books in the series and they have become a guilty pleasure for me...classic melodrama...black and white good and evil whodunnit...in this one, the 2nd in the series we find out how Savich and Sherlock get together as well as nab the bad guys...good, but not great, read!!! "
" Good read. Thanks Heidi for sharing it with me! "
" Didn't make it through this one. The plot wasn't very interesting, so I finally gave up. "
" My favorite Catherine Coulter book, and one of the only FBI books in her series that I can read over and over again. Romance and a damn good mystery, too. A pretty quick read, great for a vacation or sitting around. "
" Very twisted and very interesting to get into the mind of a serial killer. I like the new character, Savich and Sherlock. I can't wait to explore them more as characters in the following books. "
" This was a really good book. The story kept me guessing. You never know what would happen next. This was a good one. "
" I love these FBI thriller's.... they are a light and easy read. "
" Ultimately unsatisfying in its surface level story, stereotypical characters with zero depth and a pat on the head happy ending. I am all for happy endings but I honestly didn't care whether they survived the 'crazed serial killer' or not, so I am not impressed by this one. "
" I just don't really like her! Dialog was stilted ... you can tell she writes a lot of romance novels! I'll try another one and see if she's gotten any better ... "
" A mystery and a romance all caught up in this suspense novel. good characters, I think I read a book with the same characters. I read the second book first. both were good. Catherine Coulter knows how to weave a tale, making you wonder all the time "Who done it" "
" Savich and Sherlock (yes, that's her name) come together for an explosive reaction. A serial killer, a maze and the FBI...what's the worst that could happen? Read to find out. "
" One wouldn't think a romance author could write such great suspense! She's good. Read her others. "
" I started with "The Cove" and liked it, but I believe "TheMaze" is better. Liked the characters and it got my attention quickly. Will follow up with the sequals. "
" I enjoyed this book more than the last book I read by her, The Heir. I would like to read the other books in this series. "
" This is a sequel. And I can't not read sequels. And this one wasn't too much worse than the first one. Someone needs to let Catherine Coulter know that no one has worn a banana clip since the later 1980s. Just saying. "
" This is a good book, worth reading. "
" I love Catherine Coulter's books. Not too much romance, just enough mystery. "
" I'm really enjoying this series. Each book has new main characters but includes the main characters from the last book tying them all together. I also like the splash of romance. "
" 3.5 stars. I listened to this as an audiobook and enjoyed it. Towards the end I had to go for a walk just to finish it on my ipod! Fun read, will definitely get the next one. "
" This was a great read. I have #3 at the top of my tbr pile but like to read different genre so it won't be next but will be soon. "
" Always wondered how Sherlock and Savage got together. I didn't care for the weak needy woman portrayal. "
" This is the book where Sherlock joins the FBI to catch the guy who killed her sister. She also meets Savich. They guy who she is after kills women after he makes them walk through a maze following a string. Once they reach the center, he kills them, slowly. "
" The first of the Sherlock & Savich series. "
" Better than The Cove. Happy to find a new author and series to read. "
" I love Catherine Coulter's books. "
" A re-read, or I should say a re-listen for me. I like this one a lot; why, because of Sherlock and Savich. I know a lot of crazy, never would happen in real life, shit goes on, but still a fun read . "
" I enjoyed this very much on audiobook. "
" Loved it everyone should read it. "
" I guess I'm just a sucker for the romance. "
" I've been putting off reading this book for a while. For some reason I thought it was strictly romance, and was pleased that it turned out to be that and more.The "thriller" aspect though of both stories leave a lot to be desired. Mostly smoke with little substance "
" Excellent book. I really enjoyed this which is a compilation of the first two FBI books by Coulter. I will be reading more of them. "
" 2 stars for the first story and 2.5 for the second. I'm just not a fan of the stories themselves or the writing style. Oh well. At least I tried a new author. And I have been meaning to read her for awhile. Now I can say I have. "
" No big deal of a thriller. I may pick up another paperback. "
" I have read the Cove, just started on The Maze "
" It was very good. Light reading with humor. "
