Poor facts for an author focused on serial killers
Mary Stone can tell a good story, there's no denying that. But why bring in Ted Bundy repeatedly if you don't know the basic information? Bundy didn't target sex workers. Plenty others did. Name those victims. Ensure they're remembered. They deserve this.
And if you're going to compare the psychology of an invented killer to one of the most notorious, as a prelude to featuring a forensic psychologist, it's distracting when the facts about that real-life killer's traits are incorrect.
Again, good storytelling, but the inappropriate comparisons take the reader out of that story.

Seemed completely unnecessary to the series, honestly. With the addition of Ryan, I hope things get more action packed.

Fairly the same, but enough interest to follow to the end

This entry in the series has Ryan O'Connelly who escaped FBI custody returning a year later to help them find a serial killer. Ryan helps them with a case of a snuff film posted to the dark web. The book is disturbing. It explores what a parent will do the help a child. The guilt felt when a child does horrible things. The pace is fast. Ryan O'Connelly was a character I enjoyed from a previous entry in the series. It was great to spend time with him again. Winter's brother is escalating in his contact with Winter. While this case is solved, what will happen next with Winter's brother? If you enjoy books where the story overlaps into the next book, this one is for you.
