I had a big problem with this book - I couldn't put it down! I loved the fact that I knew who the killer was from the first page, but none of the law enforcement in the book do. So I eagerly kept following their separate paths just waiting for the collision. And I was not disappointed! I'm afraid this copy got rather battered in my desperation to finish it. JT Ellison gets better each book she produces. I can't wait to get my hands on the next instalment.

#4 in the Taylor Jackson series. This time Taylor is trying to adapt to her demotion from Lt. to back to being a detective along with a new partner since her team was disassembled. The new Lt. is making her life miserable & impeding investigations. A new killer is terrorizing Nashville and has Taylor & Baldwin seeking help from Scotland Yard because of international similarities in the murders. A Scotland Yard detective "Memphis" arrives to help and sets his sights on Taylor. The murders have an artful distinction to them and has the three traveling from U.S. to Italy on the trail of the killer or killers. Taylor must contend with unwanted attention from "Memphis" and another killer (The Pretender) she hasn't caught yet but is keeping close watch on her. Interesting premise of killers and investigation. Great continuation of the series

Although I found some things about this book a little predictable, I found that I liked the characters. The mystery was interesting. This is one of Ellison's later books and now I want to go back to the first book in the series.

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.
