Detective Alison Madison has been given the lead on her
first case, the murder of Seattleite Matt Duncan, who was brutally murdered
during a robbery at his home.
Following the discovery of trace DNA matching a case closed
seven years previously, detectives Alison and her partner, Kevin Brown, soon
discover other cases with similar elements. After these cases are revisited
they realise they have uncovered the “work” of a serial killer.
Matt Duncan’s wife, Kate, believes she is being stalked by
her husband’s killer. Between keeping Kate safe and mounting pressure from her
superiors and the media, Alison and her team slowly inch closer to the identity
of this sadistic killer. Interspersed with snippets of her past, her personal relationships and pressure from the DEA for her involvement in a previous case, this book will surprise you with a few unexpected twists as Alison’s case reaches its climax and finally its denouement.
This was my first read of a Valentina Giambanco novel and I
thoroughly enjoyed it. It can be read as
a stand-alone. She smartly gave small snippets of information giving you an
idea of who, what, when and how past events affected Alice Madison in this
novel without compromising the previous novels if you haven’t read them.
I look forward to reading the first two novels in the Alice
Madison series.
