Another excellent Kim Stone novel! I believe this one was even better than the first. What makes this series so completely disturbing and horrifying to me is how realistic it is. Sure, as a work of fiction there are some artistic licenses. Overall, I think this series has me looking over my shoulder wondering who I can trust.

Kim Stone joins us again after capturing a disgusting child abuser that should be cut and dry, but a few of the facts just aren't adding up. Simultaneously, a rapist is murdered and Stone's team make an arrest that also seems cut and dry. However, the deeper Kim digs, the more she realizes she is up against something far more disturbing and dangerous. As connections are made, Kim will risk her life to put a sociopath behind bars while dealing with her own issues that she has fought so hard to keep buried.

This one was interesting because we find out early on in both storylines who the "culprit" is, if you will. I was concerned this would take away from the suspense and mystery of the novel but it did not. There were still many twists and turns I did not see coming which always adds to a reading experience IMO. Overall, another disturbing and well crafted thriller from Angela; I'm eagerly anticipating starting #3 later this week!
