This book could be subtitled "Joe goes to Hollywood". After taking care of his Beck problem in the first book, Joe has found himself another girl. He's deliriously happy -- until she does him wrong and flees to Los Angeles. What else could your intrepid stalker/murderer do, but track her down and get his revenge?

I highly recommend the audio version of this book, because I think it really helps you get onto the emotional roller coaster in Joe's brain. He can spin from happy to furious back to happy in an instant, and the narrative really requires you to give yourself over to it. I enjoyed this as much as the first one, and look forward to catching up on the second season of the show.
