review 1: I picked up this book because I'm a sucker for suspense/mystery/crime stories. I enjoyed reading it, it was fun, fast-paced-yet-long-enough-to-suit-my-love-of-long-stories, and a bit suspenseful.I felt a few times that the main character was too loosely tied into the plot. It does work however, as far as plots go.Here is the ten-second summary:Judge Lily is traumatized by a rape in her past, she is now a judge. Her marriage is strained. A cop gets put on the case of a serial killer who leaves behind absolutely no trail (all the victims show up as missing persons). Lily's husband gets targeted by the serial killer. It goes wrong and the killer cries rape. Lily, because of her own past, can't stand her husband anymore. The killer tries to get close to Lily, but when Li... morely is asked to sign a search warrant to catch the killer, she realizes who the identity of the killer is. The killer gets shot in self-defense. The end.
review 2: I enjoyed reading this, but there were some serious flaws.There are excerpts from a previous book. Why? Most of her readers have probably already read the earlier books. This seems self-serving and lazy, IMO.What are the odds that an FBI profiler investigating a serial killer is from the same town as the judge who is the main character?The main character is so *desperate* for company. Once she learns her husband was cheating on her, she gravitates between lesbianism (which she's never mentioned before) and another guy. Kind of unstable and unlikely.I think the most interesting part involved the FBI profiler and the alibi service. Lily's character has really gone downhill from some of the earlier books. I really did not enjoy her story at all. less
