"James Hayman's edgy, ingenious novels rival the best of Lisa Gardner, Jeffery Deaver, and Kathy Reichs. A Fatal Obsession is his finest to date: a ferocious live-wire thriller starring two of the most appealing cops in contemporary fiction." â??A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

Someone's watching...

Zoe McCabe is a beautiful young actress on the verge of stardom who has been basking in the standing ovations and rave reviews she's been getting from critics and fans alike for her portrayal of Desdemona in an off-Broadway production of Othello. As she takes her final bows, Zoe has no idea that, seated in the audience, a man has been studying her night after night, performance after performance. A man whose carefully crafted plans are for the young actress to take a starring role in a far deadlier production he has created just for her.

Portland, Maine detectives Mike McCabe and Maggie Savage are settling into the new rhythm of their relationship when McCabe gets a late night call from his brother Bobby that Zoe, McCabe's favorite niece and Bobby's daughter, has suddenly disappeared. The NYPD is certain Zoe's abduction is the work of the man the tabloids have dubbed "The Star Struck Strangler," a killer who has been kidnapping, abusing and finally strangling one beautiful young performer after another. Bobby begs McCabe to return to the New York City crime beat he'd left behind so many years ago, to work his old connections, and to help find Zoe before her time runs out. The stakes for McCabe and Savage have never been higher. Or more personal. And suddenly the race is on to stop a vicious attacker, before the McCabe family is torn apart beyond repair.… (mehr)

So disappointing - the best points of the previous McCabe/Savage series are gone in this latest entry. More about the protagonist(s) than the solution of the mystery and capture of the killer(s). ( )

Maggie and McCabe are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship when Mike gets a call that his mother is in the hospital in New York City. When they arrive, they discover that Zoe, Mike's actress niece, is missing and possibly the victim of a serial kidnapper and killer. McCabe and Savage team up with New York City's finest to find Zoe and stop the killer before it's too late.
I've really enjoyed the books in this series, but this one wasn't one of my favorites. For one thing, I missed the usual Portland/Maine setting; that setting is one of the things that makes this series different. And while the story was okay, I never got over the feeling that this was a book being 'phoned in'. The writing was just okay. As the reader, you know Zoe is going to be rescued, so it ultimately came down to Zoe's narrative alternating with the police procedural parts. And it just didn't grab me like most of the earlier books.
Still, I'm happy about Maggie and McCabe and look forward to the next book - being set in Maine. ( )

I have not been following this series. Yet, I was able to jump right into this book. I thought that Detectives Mike McCabe and Maggie Savage worked well together...both professionally and romantically. Although, I like that their romantic relationship was not a big focus in this story. It just didn't seem like it would have fit the story as well.

Speaking of the story. I did like it. In fact, I read this book pretty fast. However, when it came to the suspense; it was fine. I would have preferred it to be stronger in my opinion, but this is my personal feelings. There were a surprise or two that I didn't see coming. Yet, I didn't find the strong connection to the rest of the characters like I did McCabe and Savage. Overall, I did like this book and would read more from this author. In fact, I may go back and start with book one in this series. ( )
