Verses for the Dead by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
5.0
This novel keeps you guessing a bit. It is a wild ride to decipher why this mysterious "Broken Hearts" is killing women in the Miami area, removing their hearts violently, then leaving them as gifts at the graves of women who committed suicide. Pendergast not only has to stop the serial killer, but he is also coping with a new partner, Detective Coldmoon. And his position with the NY field office of the FBI is at stake.
This was a good read with some twists at the end. Much of this develops late in the story, and I don't think a reader could begin to guess the complexities earlier in the book, but then that's a challenge for the next reader.
