Description
Rick McCoy of the Major Crime Squad is trying to repair his marriage when he is sent to the South of Western Australia. A young girl's body has been found in a cave, with flowers on her chest. A search finds five more bodies. Beautiful criminal psychologist, Patricia Holmes, has recovered from her stab wounds inflicted by the serial killer PPP, and is brought in. Pat believes they are hunting a man who is addicted to beauty. When another school girl goes missing, they have only days before she too will die. As their desire for each other grows and the pressure on their marriages increase, they close in on the man responsible for the beautiful deaths. Meanwhile, in the high-security wing of the mental health hospital, PPP plans his revenge on Rick.

Stephen B. King is a good suspenseful writter that has intriguing plots to his books. I enjoyed this book and it's characters. This is a definite read for the year.

This was a great follow up that can also be read as a stand alone. One word of caution however, the third (final?) installment will feature the killer, PPP, from the first.
I really like the writing style and characters that this author creates. The stories, which are told from several viewpoints, build at a steady pace and are quite fascinating.
I do love the cop (Rick) working with profiler/psychiatrist (Pat). It adds a different layer to the story and really does allow you to see all the “angles”. I did say in the series first review that I was irritated by the sexual tension between the two. This installment does shed a bit of enlightenment (on his part, I felt, hers not so much). I do still feel that is a bit over the top and unnecessary to be part of every interaction between them. That’s one minor gripe in an otherwise fantastic story.
It looks like the next, with the return of PPP, will be exciting as well. I look forward to it. This really is a different type of serial killer story and a welcome addition to the genre.
Thanks to NetGalley, the author and Backlit PR for a copy in exchange for a review.
