This is the 1st book in the Taylor Jackson series. It was on OK mystery with loads of murder & forensic speak. I think there were too many side stories & gaps in the plot. I knew who the murderer was not too far into the story. A little too many characters & a side murder that didn't go with the rest of the story. I will read the next book in the series to see if it gets better. ( )

I was looking for a new book, new author. Bought it in grocery store. Lots of interconnected sub stories but it didn't get too complicated. Suspenseful and great character development are my two requirements. It was a hit, and I will read more by this author

En Nashville, una chica aparece muerta a manos de un sádico asesino en serie. La teniente de Homicidios Taylor Jackson y su amante, John Baldwin, experto en perfiles criminales del FBI, se encuentran unidos en la investigación y en la persecución del sanguinario asesino. El Estrangulador del Sur está abriéndose camino a golpe de asesinato por el sureste del país, y dejando un truculento recuerdo en cada uno de los escenarios de sus crímenes: la mano cercenada de su víctima anterior. La ambiciosa reportera de televisión Whitney Connolly está segura de que el Estrangulador del Sur es su billete de salida de Nashville. Tiene una primicia que podría resolver el caso. No sabe lo cerca que está de la historia, ni lo que va a costarle. A medida que el asesino pierde el control, todo aquél involucrado en la situación deberá enfrentarse a una horrible verdad: la maldad más pura nace de mentiras privadas.

Good murder mystery. Some good twists. ( )

It was an okay read. I wasn't impressed as much as I thought I would be as the story sounded great. It seemed to get started off with a bang, but then it just fizzled out for me and I became bored with it. Two stars for effort on this one. ( )
