Deadly Heat by Cynthia Eden
4.0
Cynthia Eden writes twisted villains. The Deadly series isn't for the faint of heart. Usually, I don't read books that give the point of view of the killer but Eden does a good job keeping the parts in the killer's mind relatively short. Even so, those parts where uncomfortable and I got through them as quickly as possible.
The mystery plot is good, and I liked her character development, especially of Kenton, who we met in [b:Deadly Fear|7662223|Deadly Fear (Deadly, #1)|Cynthia Eden|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1302052850s/7662223.jpg|10253426]. Nora was a strong character as well, tough and tortured. I was fairly certain who the perp was by the middle of the book, but Eden kept the tension up and I was second guessing myself constantly. I like an author to be able to do that.
Seeing Monica and Luke again (also from Deadly Fear) was a bonus. In fact, Monica plays a significant part in this book. We see a little of Samantha at the end of the book as well. I believe book 3, [b:Deadly Lies|8671568|Deadly Lies (Deadly #3)|Cynthia Eden|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1280326009s/8671568.jpg|13543388] is her story.
