Synopsis
ASA Kristen Mayhew has a dangerous secret admirer. He writes her letters and leaves her gifts - the bodies of men who have escaped punishment for their crimes. Now, Kristen together with Detective Abe Reagan must follow the clues and stop the killer before his thirst for vengeance makes her a target for murder.
Review
Captivating characters and a gripping plot that makes a serious indictment against the justice system.
The story provides compelling insight into the mind of a man driven to kill out of a need for justice - even though he is a killer, it is difficult not to understand and perhaps even root for his actions. The questions of good and evil, right and wrong are put to the test in this book.
Even though it is easy to guess the identity of the culprit, the investigation is interesting and their are enough clues and red-herrings to keep you turning the pages.
The romance is engaging although there are one or two themes that don't appeal to me - the hero is a widower and is still hung up on his dead wife to a certain extent, and the heroine is a rape survivor. Nevertheless, they have a sizzling chemistry and their scenes together are intense and emotional.
Overall, an engrossing read and Karen Rose is becoming a go to author for me.

I'm just loving Rose's series. I do have to say that this book is less graphic than the previous two books. It focused more on the relationship between the two characters and their struggles with their past due to the murders that are going on.
I did get a bit annoyed with the female character because in Rose's other books, the lead female character was strong. In this book, whenever Kristen was in trouble she prays that Abe will come and rescue her.
While reading this book, I kept guessing who the killer was and it turns out that when it was revealed I was shocked because he wasn't even on my radar when I going through the list of characters trying to figure out who it could be. So that was fun.
Overall I did enjoy the book and was happy that Kristen and Abe got a happy ending that was fitting for them.

I enjoyed the story line in this book. The story of ASA Kristen Mayhew kept you guessing, it had you wondering why she is the way she is and also what happened to her. I had suspicions of who was the "humble servant" but initially I was wrong and it was only in the last few chapters that it all came together and made more sense. Well worth the read.
