I love Mary Burton's books! No Escape is no exception. From the opening pages of introducing the reader to the past of Harvey Day Smith and his apprentice, Burton has my complete attention. Fast forward several years and Smith is in jail and wants to speak to none other than Jolene, a psychologist who has a penchant for getting inside the head of killers.
Smith is about to die from cancer but there are still three bodies he hasn't given them the burial information on. They'd like to give the families closure before Smith dies, and he's willing to do that. But he also has another agenda, watching his young apprentice become a man, and he's not willing to give Jolene or Texas Ranger Brody Winchester to many clues to help them out, just a few to give them a head-start . Because more woman are disappearing and dying in the same fashion as Smith's victims and what they don't know is that he is determined to make Jolene his next victim.
The romance takes a backseat in No Escape, which is just the way I like romantic suspense. Jolene and Brody have a past that they try to keep from impeding their current work investigation, but dirty secrets always come to light eventually. The killer is never a secret except to Brody and Jolene, but it was fun watching how they followed the breadcrumbs that Smith threw them and through the mistakes that the apprentice made. Definitely another fabulous read from Burton! Keep 'em coming!
