review 1: Necrophilia aside, I really enjoyed this book. The creepy factor is high, but I liked the personal development in the characters. Taylor demoted to Detective grows the most when she is forced to work with a new partner (I liked him too), but even Baldwin's character gets fleshed out a little more. I'm still not convinced he's the best profiler out there as he always seems to be a step behind Jackson and her basic police work. In this book what shines the most is how many people contribute to the solving of one murder, or several. Nice procedural.
review 2: WOW! I just finished The Cold Room. I still haven't caught my breath. That was one amazingly intense story. I read it in one sitting, I couldn't put it down.The Cold Room is the fourth book in the Taylor Jack... moreson series. After she was demoted in the previous book, Taylor is trying to deal with being just a rank and file detective again. Her team has been broken up and all working in different parts of Nashville. She has a new partner who has been a detective for all of one month. And she has a new lieutenant who seems more interested in making sure rules are followed than solving murders.When Taylor is called into a murder scene on her day off, she knows nothing good is going to come of it. And she's right. When she sees that the body has been displayed, she calls in her fiance FBI profiler John Baldwin. The news he brings is distressing. This case is mirroring one hes been working in London and Florence. The next day another body is found. And again it displayed to look like a famous work of art. Baldwin's cases in Europe are young extremely thin white women. Taylor's cases are two African American women.The autopsy reveals, like Baldwins cases the women were contained somehow and starved to death. And someone has had sex with them after death.DNA is found and it seems Baldwins killer has jumped continents. Baldwin is also working with a detective from New Scotland Yard. "Memphis" Highsmyth. Who upon first laying eyes on Taylor, deems she is the spitting image of his dead wife. He decides she will be his.This book has such an amazing twist in it. I was blown away. It was so well written, some might find the subject matter a bit difficult but it does not take up a lot of page time. It was interesting to watch the two cases come together. I loved it. If you like a good thriller/mystery ala John Sanford or Karin Slaughter you'll love this one too. less
