Personally I cannot wait to read the next book in this series to see where the master writer takes us next. This pressure cooker just keeps you forced to read on to the end!!
Surprising and Lacy Stoltz is superb!!

Predictable crime thriller with a female investigator searching for a serial killer with the aid of a woman whose father was one of the victims. The usual suspense, rising action, and a bit of unrealistic 20-year methodical want for revenge from a sitting judge is the basic plot. Grisham is good for a fast read, as long as you don't want too much character development. He's perfected the lawyer perspective and you always feel satisfied with a nicely tied up ending.
