BOOK SYNOPSIS:
From the bestselling author of The Neon Lawyer comes a gripping thriller about a prosecutor confronted with the darkest part of her past and the worst fears for her future…
Fourteen years ago, prosecutor Jessica Yardley’s husband went to prison for a series of brutal murders. She’s finally created a life with her daughter and is a well-respected attorney. She’s moving on. But when a new rash of homicides has her ex-husband, Eddie, written all over them—the nightmares of her past come back to life.
The FBI asks Jessica to get involved in the hunt for this copycat killer—which means visiting her ex and collaborating with the man who tore her life apart.
As the copycat’s motives become clearer, the new life Jessica created for herself gets darker. She must ask herself who she can trust and if she’s capable of stopping the killer—a man whose every crime is a bloody valentine from a twisted mastermind she’s afraid she may never escape.
REVIEW:
This book is not for the faint of heart. There are a number of scenes that can be difficult to read or imagine.
That being said it is a really well written legal thriller. I did have some issues with Jessica who is supposedly one of the best lawyers and yet she can be so naive on things. And that made me roll my eyes a number of times but other than that the story was compelling and keeps you wanting to read the next chapter.
Jessica was married to a serial killer and now a copycat is out there so she gets involved in locating and stopping the copycat. And that means having to meet up with her ex-husband for help.
Very well written book and any fans of the genre will enjoy it.
