The book took place at Christmas time and definitely was not a cozy. In the case with this book it was more my cup of tea. The main characters were well drawn and the villain was totally crazy.

The PERFECT crime novel - take a likable Scotland yard detective, a NYC cop and an estranged daughter and throw them in the middle of a hunt for a terrifying serial killer and seriously, what more do you need? Bravo!

I didn’t think I was gonna like this book because of the religious aspect, but it turned out to be very intriguing. I really liked the killer and the special signature. The idea of a crazy religious person was awesome. About half way through the book I started to suspect who the real killer was and why. I enjoyed the characters tremendously and the author’s writing style. I’m a sucker for Christmastime books so, of course, I loved all the detail during the holiday. While the book seems a bit lengthy, it is a quick read with a pace that keeps the reader hooked. Consider me thoroughly entertained! I highly recommend you pick this one up.
