Except for the bad parts, this is a really good book. This debut bogs down in places where Floyd seems more interested in his thesaurus than in moving the story forward. And is quite choppy between the present and the past â" almost as if there were two separate authors.

Six years after Nina Mosley's ex-husband is found guilty in the serial killings of many across the country â" thanks to Mosley herself finding the evidence â" Randy is now on death row in California. But if only life were so simple and she could change her name and forget her past. Except that isn't possible when the father of one of Randy's victims tracks her down and is making life unbearable for Leigh (what she now calls herself) and her son Hayden. Their new life in Cary, North Carolina is shattered when they are publicly revealed and another vicious murdered wants to copy what he learned from his mentor.
