Detective Kendra Dean's life is unraveling. Her husband of 20 years recently told her he needed space and she's under investigation at work for potentially pushing a robbery suspect in front of a UPS truck. Her partner, Detective Woody James, is determined to help her prove her innocence. She heads to Copper Lake to get away for a while. While she's out for a hike one day, she discovers human remains. She goes into detective mode and doesn't realize that she has become the killer's next target.  

Kendra has three adult children who come visit her. Woody James visits her, too. Her children are a bit suspicious of her relationship with Woody and think he might be the reason their dad left. At the beginning of the story, she is mainly dealing with her relationships but a major event shifts her focus to survival.

There is definitely a creep factor to this book. We learn early on who the serial killer is and we're privy to his twisted thoughts. We learn more about who he is and why he gets a thrill out of killing. He was someone I didn't enjoy reading about. I looked forward to him getting caught.

This is the third book in a series but I felt that it worked well as a standalone. There was some content that was difficult for me to read. I love suspense, and this book delivers in that area, but I personally didn't enjoy how much of this story was from the POV of the killer. There is also some swearing, including two uses of the "f" word and talk of rape (no details).

My Rating=3 Stars
