I really enjoyed the 1st book featuring Reid and London, Sylver and Gold. So, I was excited about reading this 2nd book. Unfortunately, while this is still an enjoyable read, I did not like it as much as book 1.
This time, Reid has retired as homicide detective but still works as a consultant for the BPD. She is still using her gift of being able to talk to the dead to help solve murder cases. London and her relationship is also still going strong, They work with a close-knit group of detectives who are all privy to Reid's special abilities.
The FBI came calling for help to catch a serial killer who has victimized a lot of women and proving hard to stop.
Also, London seems to be his type, so he has his sights set on her too.
However, one of the issues I had was the resolution seems too quick and perfunctory. Actually almost every "crisis" encountered is resolved pretty quickly. Granted, Reid's unique gift enables the team to do unusual things, like obtain help from spirits during critical moments. But, here is this supposedly really smart sophisticated killer that the FBI has been having trouble even finding for years and Reid's team is able to ferret out his where and why and how in a matter of days. There is not a real sense of suspense and thrill that one usually gets from this genre of books.
