When the trunk slammed closed, sealing her fate, a deep cold slithered into the center of Kennedy's bones. All she could do was pray that her attacker would leave enough of her for her family to identify . . . Kennedy Farmer, an experienced athlete, never returns after leaving for her usual running route through the dusty mountain trails of New Mexico. While the search for Kennedy begins, Detective Alyssa Wyatt and her squad face a terrifying new case when the body of a young woman, Rheagan Pembroke, is discovered in the desert terrain surrounding Albuquerque. Her wounds horrify even the hardened squad of the Albuquerque P.D.-and the case takes an even darker turn when they discover a polaroid stuffed into the victim's mouth, showing the body of Gunner Galveston, a murder victim from fourteen years ago. The culprit was never caught. As the team are taunted with gruesome packages and blood-curdling phone calls, it becomes evident that a serial killer-whose blood lust is increasing-has been operating in plain sight. To catch a killer, Alyssa and the squad need to understand the savage desires driving them . . . before Kennedy becomes another life taken at the hands of a psychopath.

Detective Alyssa Wyatt #5
Dark, gritty, gruesome, sometimes difficult to read, serial killer murder mystery that had Alyssa and her team working long hours under pressure to find one kidnapped tortured victim of a ruthless and amoral sadistic murderer.
What I liked:
* Alyssa: dedicated, professional, diligent, team player and determined detective with a loving husband, teenage son, and daughter soon to marry
* The team: all of them seem to be normal hard working police detectives that are professional and without many of the issues so common in police detective series that I have read
* The plot, pacing, writing, red herrings, twists and turns
* The unflinching look at Kennedy as she suffered, struggled, and endured
* The police procedural aspects of the story
* Being able to abhor the killer
* Feeling that I was there with the characters
* It felt all too believable
* That the story was concluded without a cliffhanger
* Holly’s wedding, the reminder of previous cases, and…Ruby’s smile
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about why some people are evil and how cruel they can be
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series/by this author? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Hera Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
