Excellent suspense-very good read. It was thrilling, chilling and left me on the edge of my seat. Truely-- as i was reading i found myself sitting up straighter gripping the book harder--now i know this is a sign of a good thriller. I'd read more from this author in a New York minute.

An excellent addition to the Tony Hill series, which is now featured on the BBC Amercia "Wire in the Blood" program. Very well written, and just convoluted enough, with even the main characters just disturbed and twisted enough, to make this a great read.

A must read! You can't put it down. A murder mystery about a serial killer who is locked up, and yet his MO is being repeated. How can this be?

Val McDermid is a wonderful author, but this particular one seems not to be as strong as some of her previous books.
