dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

Someone is poisoning women who work in New York's online pornography business and they are dying online in front of thousands of viewers. No one has been able to lift a finger to help them in time. Meanwhile, sex therapist Morgan Snow is dealing with a group of porn-addicted teenagers and a prominent New York City Supreme Court judge who is secretly battling his addiction to Internet porn. Snow realizes there is some sort of connection between the murders and her patients, but she is bound by doctor-patient confidentiality. Furthermore, her relationship with Detective Noah Jordain of NYPD's Special Victim's Unit, the lead detective in charge of solving this series of murders, is taking a beating because of their respective professions. Will Snow be able to help her patients in time to prevent more killings?

In typical M.J. Rose fashion, the author keeps you guessing who did it right until the very end. For a free Amazon Kindle read, this is a short, fast-paced read and a real page-turner. It's a perfect choice for easy summertime reading.

I bought this book immediately up on reading the Delilah Complex by the same author. The book follows the same plotline and Rose's other book. Rose is masterful at weaving a story that points the guilty finger to a character convincingly until the last 5 pages reveal the real killer. I was more surprised when this happened in the first book. The story held my interest but my real interest is in Detective Noah Jordaine. I swear if Dr. Morgan snow dumps the good detective I will have to stop reading. Her neurotic intimacy issues and obsessive nature with her daughter cannot possible hold my interest without New Orleans native, Jordaine.

I downloaded this one as I was reading 'Delila Complex' as I really enjoyed that book & this one didn't let me down. I had many people in mind for the killer & I didn't guess it until near the end. The story held my interest throughtout & I'll definetly be keeping my eye out for more books by this author.

*siiiiigh* I've enjoyed these books greatly and this one had probably my favorite murder-thriller case of the three so far - but I cannot get over Morgan's inaction in almost every portion of her life. For a woman who's supposed to be this perceptive therapist, she's quite unperceptive and gets a bit tedious as a narrator. Noah is the main reason I keep reading these books, mainly because I'm interested in seeing how many books longer their touch-and-go dynamic will continue.. As always, the narrators' performances on the audibook were excellent and what I compare other books to!
