This was the first book I've read by this author. It's hard to say if I really liked it or not. There were parts I thought were very good, and other parts where it left me saying, "Come on. Really? Is that even realistic?" To me, the endinig left something to be desired. On a 1 to 10 scale, I would give it a 6.

Very boring and I had to work exceptionally hard to keep my head in the game, but the very end was quite creepy and almost had me wanting to give the book a higher rating.

Zoe Hayes, the lead character, lives in an upper class close-knit Philadelphia neighborhood where the local nannies begin to disappear. Zoe, an art therapist in a mental hospital, and her daughter are quickly thrown into the foray when Molly finds a human finger in the snow and with this clue, Zoe knows that the serial killer has to be one of her neighbors.

I know a huge jump in the storyline, but pretty much this is how it happened. Of course, you have to throw in the police detective that will make their lives complete and then when the killer is found and the trumpets blare they will all live happily ever after. Unfortunately, that is where the creepy part comes in. When your mom works in an institute for the seriously deranged, part of her work might come home with her and a Steven King-esque twist appears just when you were not expecting it.

Very well written. I had about 3 guesses and still didn't figure it out. I'm wishing for the others in the series now. ;-)
